If you commute to uni it can be hard to avoid the urge to go home after your lectures. After all, you’ve got a commute ahead of you and all your creature comforts are at home; your own bed, Netflix, re-runs of Love Island. But there are actually lots of perks to sticking around on campus.
Why you should make the most of study spaces on campus:
1) You'll probably be more productive
There can be lots of distractions when you get home - TV to watch, family to talk to, a bed to lie in. Staying on campus removes those distractions so you can concentrate on your work for a while.
2) You can study with your friends
Studying with others is a great way to make revision or uni work more interesting. Why not stick around and collaborate with your coursemates on a project or test each other for your upcoming exam?
3) The best facilities are on campus
If you study on campus, you'll have access to computers, printing, loan laptops, workshop spaces and all of the resources the library has to offer!
If you study a creative course such as textiles, art or fashion, it might be best to work on campus to use the equipment and to avoid carrying your projects around with you.
4) Make the most of opportunities
If you're on campus, you're more likely to come across exciting opportunities that happen every day. Often you can grab freebies, get involved in activities, join in with societies, and attend workshops or talks.
5) There's a study space to suit everyone
Everyone finds it easier to focus in different environments which is why we've got a space for everyone. We have silent study pods if you like to avoid all distractions, group rooms to work with friends or social spaces if you enjoy more of a buzz.
