Campus Compass

What is Campus Compass?

Feeling lost with all the admin of starting university? Struggling to navigate Moodle? Want to know the best study spaces on Campus, or where to get the most delicious food?

Campus Compass is here to answer all of your burning questions! Come and see us at our stall during O-week or at the beginning of term to talk to students who have been there and done it all! Whether you're wondering about something specific or just want to chat, we'll help you get started and make the most out of the uni experience.

Not a new student? Come and tell us about your uni experience so far! We love to hear about the things you wish you knew earlier as well as all of your best student advice.
