Commuting Students

Commuting students are known to be at greater risk of dropping out than those that live on campus or in the local area.  They may need to negotiate a long and complicated journey to university. As a result it is helpful if you can ensure any ice-breaker activities or meetings you arrange with students are set up early enough in the day for commuters to engage effectively.

A range of facilities are also available that may be particularly helpful to these students including;

• Resources in the Students Union Hub (https://www.qmsu.org/hub/) in particular microwaves where they can heat up their lunch and an Amazon Locker, where they can have Amazon deliveries stored.
• Storage lockers on the ground floor of the Francis Bancroft Building for students to store their belongings on Campus. Bancroft Building Locker Location.pdf [PDF 210KB]
• A laptop loan services available in the Mile End Library for students who have forgotten or do not wish to bring their own laptops on campus: https://www.library.qmul.ac.uk/using-the-library/pcs-printing-and-photocopying/laptop-loan-/
