Bristol SU Living Room
We have two Bristol SU Living Rooms on campus, one in Senate House, and one in the Sloane Robinson Building. These are spaces 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 provide you with space on campus to promote community and facilitate positive wellbeing. There are student led activities if you fancy trying something new as well as games tables, 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 or Sloane Robinson Building 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.
What facilities are in the Bristol SU Living Rooms?
The Living Rooms are equipped with basic kitchen facilities including hot water, tea and coffee for hot drinks, plenty of plug sockets for charging phones, and a variety of different comfy seating. There are microwaves for you to heat your own food. The Living Rooms are also home to our Swap Shops.
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!
