This week our amazing staff are on campus helping students settle in & feel welcome in these uncertain times. Throughout the year we signpost students to support when needed, & represent their academic interests & wellbeing to the University. #LoveSUs @hertssu @UniofHerts @nusuk

SUs are invaluable.

Student loneliness is a national issue - 4/10 students feel lonely on a daily or weekly basis. Disabled and LGBT students are more likely to feel lonely. SUs help provide community and a sense of belonging. #LoveSUs @hertssu @UniofHerts @nusuk

Students that report a feeling of belonging at uni are more likely to report feeling confident in completing their degree.

Students that are satisfied w/ their SU are more confident about their degree. They are also more likely to be confident about their career. #LoveSUs

Students who:

- are a student Representative
- vote in SU elections
- take part in social events
- are in societies
- work for the SU

all report a higher confidence in their degree than the average.
