How did you find university?

I got on better with the lecturing staff than fellow students. I kept in contact with one staff member and have met up a while back. I volunteered as a cinema projectionist on campus so that was my alternative to the student union. I would love to go on to further study but the fees are beyond my funds.

I was never very impressed with the SU at my university. They found subtle ways of banning speakers/societies with views with which the representatives of the SU 'did not like' - for example cancelling room bookings for particular worldview societies at short notice without good reason. Usually those which aligned themselves with right of centre views. 

At one point the SU wanted to impose a campus wide ban on clapping and replace it with jazz hands. Didn't go through AFAIK. One of the student representatives succeeded in having sanitary bins put in men's toilets, because 'men have periods too'. She posted a picture on Twitter with the slogan 'my menstrual blood flows through the streets for fighting for the rights of women of all genders'. They spent too much time engaging in social engineering rather than actually finding practical solutions to longstanding problems - for example overpriced food in the restaurants, lack of alcohol free freshers activities and nearby secondary school students being allowed to use computers in the library, even during exam time
