Commuting Students Network

Description

Join This Group

The Commuting Students Network is a way to link commuters with other students who may share similar circumstances, and who don't always find it easy to immerse themselves in university life because of their outside commitments. 

We aim to host Commuter Network get-together events monthly, holding them on different days and at different times to try and make them accessible to as many people as possible. The idea of these events is to give commuters a chance to meet face to face and build up friendships all across the university. We have a strong and growing membership who support each other in person and through our members-only Facebook page.

We also have our very own Commuter Network Lounge, with homely facilities designed to give commuting students a 'home from home'. The Lounge is situated near next to Alwyn Car Park, about two minutes from the Kenneth Kettle Building. We have comfy sofas, dining table, microwave and fridge, a shower, lockers, network PCs and printer. In order to access the Lounge, you must live 5 miles or more from campus. Additionally, the Lounge is open to students who are both mature and part time, even if they live less than 5 miles away (please note you must be both mature and part time to be eligible).

 

For any questions please contact SU_commuting@winchester.ac.uk

We look forward to meeting you very soon

MEMBERSHIP T&Cs

Where an activity group (sports team/society/representational network) has a competitive element or other external factors that affect the number of participants, your membership may be subject to criteria other than joining the group via this website. If this results in your membership not being able to be accepted, you will be informed (with any relevant details) and your membership will be refunded.

Membership will not normally be refunded if you cease being a student, if you voluntarily end your membership, or if you are subject to disciplinary action that removes your membership status.

Initiations: At no point should you feel pressured to drink and get involved in what others are doing, for example to join in with drinking games or ‘challenges’, if you don’t want to. If you are part of an activity group it is completely your choice whether or not you attend a social event. Activity groups are prohibited from carrying out initiation ceremonies, or any initiation-type behaviour, either on or off campus.
