Bristol SU Living Room
On the 4th Floor of Senate House the Bristol SU Living Rooms are a space for you to relax, unwind and connect with others. Everyone is welcome, no matter what you study, what year you’re in or where you live.
Our Living Rooms provides you with space on campus to combat isolation and facilitate positive wellbeing. There are student led activities if you fancy trying something new as well as games consoles, comfy sofas to relax and catchup on, and basic kitchen facilities.
If you'd like to book the Bristol SU Living Room in Senate House for a student group event, please fill out our booking form with as much detail as possible and a member of the team will be in touch. We’d love to hear your stories and what you think of our Living Room.
If there’s anything new you’d like to see or a bright idea you’d like to share, you can get in touch via email.
In 2018, a piece of joint mental health research carried out by Bristol SU and other Students Unions found that 35% of students say that they rarely or never feel relaxed and 1 in 4 of you are regularly stressed about isolation. Frankly, we thought this wasn’t good enough and so the Living Room was born!
What’s the difference between the Bristol SU Loft and the Bristol SU Living Room?
The Bristol SU Living Room was designed specifically to facilitate relaxation and community building, and reduce isolation. It’s a space where you don’t need to think about work, and we’ll try not to bother you with too many SU campaigns.
The Bristol SU Loft is more of a collaborative co-working space. You might choose to study here or work on group projects. You might want to hold committee meetings, or just want somewhere to eat your lunch. We’ll be a lot more visible in the Bristol SU Loft, so you can expect to run into Bristol SU representatives or be able to find out more about campaigns. We hear a lot that the SU feels too far from campus – so we’re bringing a slice of the SU to you.
