...We acted.

I am pleased to announce that as of today, Tuesday 24th January 2012, a new Students’ Union policy will be in effect. This new policy, will mean that the Students’ Union building will be re-dedicated for the sole use of those in the University of Leicester community – that is primarily, yourselves and your fellow students.

It’s that time of year that the Students’ Union Annual Feedback Survey comes out to make sure that we, at the Students’ Union are making sure that we are doing what YOU want.

Please make YOUR voice heard by doing the survey here:

Tis the fresher season, a time of year when new students descend on their new institution of learning (‘grats on choosing this one, University of Leicester is a treat) and a time of year when the Media churns out content about the student experience, which ranges in quality.
