Commuters’ Society

We are a community of like-minded students who live at home and commute to campus. We aim to improve your well-being by promoting the interests of commuter students across campus and providing you with fun, inclusive socials that will allow you to meet new people.

Before the creation of this society in 2019, choosing to commute to university was a potentially isolating decision. Most new students make friends through their halls, and many societies are not inclusive of the needs of commuters, e.g. accessible start and finish times of events and non-drinking socials.

The Commuters’ Society set out to change this by creating a community of commuting students to help their integration into LUU and the university experience. Now in our second year, we’ve got loads of big ideas planned and we hope that if you are a commuting student you’ll be proud to be part of our little community.

What can you expect as a member of the Commuters' Society?

  • The opportunity to build a network of commuter friends across all faculties and years (both Undergraduate and Postgraduate)
  • Access to fun, inclusive socials that aren’t held too late at night and don’t revolve around drinking
  • The chance to be properly represented as part of the student body. The society is working with the university to build materials for commuting students, and increase understanding among heads of school and other societies about how they can accommodate commuters

Socials

The society aims to offer socials that will work around a commuting student’s lifestyle. This means you’ll never have to worry about missing that last train home or having to leave early because you can’t stay too late.

Membership

Membership costs £3 for a year.

However, we believe that all commuting students should have access to our events for free. This means you don’t have to pay membership to be part of our society or to come to our events. Membership is not essential, but if you would like to support us please become a member and donate.

Due to the current situation, all of our Semester 1 events will be online. But where in-person socials can take place, students would pay for their own meal or ticket etc, and the society would try to reduce costs where possible, through student discounts or group tickets.
