Staying on Campus this Holiday season? Connect with other students who are too!
We have an official Facebook group for any of you to join if you are staying on campus halls or in London over Christmas.
The aim of the group is to help people meet others who are staying so they can make plans together over the festive period. Christmas information and activity ideas will also be shared in the group.
