Paging Uni students

Whats the best student Union building in the UK,
and why?

Whilst primarily this is about scottish Uni's and an old argument as to what uni has the best union, the rest of the UK counts aswell.

For example, of scottish unions:
Some say Dundee's 5 floor union building, complete with swimming pool, recreation floor full of pool tables and arcade machines and multiple floors of music late at night is rather good.

However, most of these people haven't been to the near sky scraper like "The Union" in glasgow with its 8 floors of fun and convenient central location.

Aberdeen's union has been said to be quite favourable due to its location, near one of the biggest clubs in Europe (apparently) and the masses of talent.

Edinburgh is often slagged off for its high concentration of twats.

I'm interested in the following:

location convenience.
facilities: eg pool tables, swimming pools, health spas etc
nightlife
daytime activities
student support at union
size
talent levels

Re: Paging Uni students

Sheffield University Student Union has regularly won the award for best Student Union in the UK.
from the website:
Quote:
Social life rating in Virgin 2005 Alternative Guide to British Universities ***** 1st equal
Students' Union services rating in 2005 Virgin Guide Excellent 1st equal
Location: 10 minutes walk into city centre, 5 minutes to the main bar/pub area. Can't get much better.
Facilities: Cinema, Pool room with 7 pool tables, plenty of games machines (racing, shooting, quiz etc), a large shop, lots of sandwich bars, a suit rental shop, endsleigh insurance, natwest bank, STA travel, 2 large bars, a really good beer garden, a couple of cafe's, lots of gigs with people such as Idlewild, Bloc Party etc etc in the last 6 months.
Sports: More sports teams than any other uni, large pool, very high quality gym, large sports hall, lots of astro turf pitches for hockey and 5 a side football, tennis courts, squash courts, bouldering walls. Also close to the Peak District which is Ideal for Orienteering, Rock Climbing and Walking.
Nightlife: A night in the union every night of the week (except sunday), award winning hip-hop/D&B night, indie/rock night, cheese night, 60's/70's night, lots of monthly independant nights such as glam rock night, classic Indie night, one of the best LGB nights in the country. As it's close to the city centre there are also plenty of clubs their to choose from no matter what your music tastes are.
Societies: Again more societies than any other Uni from "Medievil Re-enactment society" to "assassins guild" to "Real Ale Society" to "Debate Society" etc.
Size: 20,000 at Sheffield I think, along with 25,000 at Hallam and 10,000 at Sheffield College there are plenty of Students in Sheffield and so talent levels can be quite high

Yes, I used to do open days for our uni.

Re: Paging Uni students

location convenience: 20 mins walk from town centre and about 30 mins away from central London. It has two student bars (one in the village, the other at the health/leisure/gym centre.
facilities: About 3 - 4 pool tables, Big indoor fake grass astroturf, health/leisure/gym centre with no swimming pool or sauna etc.
nightlife: It's ok. It's got most of the stuff that every uni has.
daytime activities: This year, hardly anything. It's the night life that's more interesting.
student support at union: Quite supportive although I haven't seen them.
size: Two places, both one floor.

Really basic to be honest.

Re: Paging Uni students

Cardiff SU is quite good in my opinion, the only other ones I have seen are UWIC and Swansea and both are abysmal so not sure how it really ranks compared to other unis. Shame we have a terrible site to find things though.

location convenience. This is one of the best things. It is 5 minute walk from Cardiff city centre, 15 from the millennium stadium, sophia gardens and welsh institute of sport. It is within a few minutes of most lecture buildings and halls of residence so easy to get to. It also has a large pub/club within the few streets next to it but then if you would rather the mail club street in Cardiff is only 15 minutes away.

facilities: eg pool tables, swimming pools, health spas etc

It is spread out over 7/8 floors so plenty of room for things. There are loads of conference rooms which they hire out for free if there is some event you need there as well as a fleet of mini buses you can use if you need to get somewhere.

They have one fairly large bar, a huge club which has 3 different rooms for different music and will have plenty of different type nights for the main room, another place downstairs which is a sandwich bar by day and then at night hosts a lot of smaller rock bands and comedian nights, things like that as well as a specialist post grad bar(these bastards also get their own 24/7 computer room in the union). They then have the Great Hall which is where most of the bigger bands that play here go such as recently Stereophonics and Franz Ferdinand. This year doesn't seem to be as good though - http://www.cardiffstudents.com/main/ents/gigs
Then there are plenty of shops around here such as Blackwells, Endsleigh, the fairly largish newsagents the union runs, a mobile phone shop and some others that I can't remember. Around the same area they also the job centre which is quite good and will provide lawyers and other such to read over contracts for you if wanted. Personal or for societies.

On the sports side they have a pool and snooker room with about 9 pool tables and 5 snooker. This are 6 squash courts around the back and there is a gym next door. In one of the halls of residence then there is a giant sports building which offers most things that you would expect from a sports centre and is in great condition, I am just not sure who runs it. There were also already things like sports pitches close by which people could have for free/cheap if they wanted and the same with a swimming pool which is only 10 minutes walk away and let students in cheap. They help fund 135 normal societies - including their own radio stadion, and then 59 sports societies who they provide free photocopying and phone calls for. With their budget, bank account and profit levels though I would say they could help out a bit more heh.

nightlife
daytime activities
student support at union

These three are all good but covered above really.

size

The website size around 22,000 students but it was 20,000 before we merged with the medical school over the summer so I am not sure if that place is much smaller than I thought or this website is only counting old Cardiff University members.

talent levels

I have no reason to complain.

interesting... it used to be in the corridor down the side of the main shop and next to the "random university clothes and gadgets" shop.

Oh there's an oxfam as well


Other unions I've seen: Durham's is awful. Loughborough and Warwick have good unions but the campus is in the middle of nowhere. Nottingham isn't too bad although a lot of people I know hate it. Liverpool and Keele aren't too big and De Montford is just shit.

Re: Paging Uni students

The LSE union is very small and not much worth mentioning. I can't remember what ULU (the Main University of London one) is like, but I seem to remember it having various floors (which I never looked at). QMW's (Queen Mary) was pretty small too.

Having said all that, there's no real need for a student union in London.

Re: Paging Uni students

No idea, but the imperial college union is almost certainly the worst.

Strathclyde is probably the best I've been to due to the pool table floor. Most of the 'clubbing' nights there are shit though, but then what do you expect.

Re: Paging Uni students

Irish student unions (both of them lol) are terrible compared to this. Free education though, you get what you pay for (although I suppose they're still being paid the same it's just the government doing it but as per usual if the government touches anything it falls to shit immediately).

Re: Paging Uni students

Kent Union, hrmmm I have mixed feelings on my union.

We have the venue, which has been refurbished this year and actually looks like a decent club from a big city. Its three floors and can house just under 3000 students. Generally it has a night of music on two floors and a related type on another. So on Fridays its RnB, Hip Hop and then the top floor is garage. Saturday night, commercial, Tuesday night indie/rock. Wednesday night everything and anything, thursday nights societies, monday nights commercial. It is generally packed most nights apart from Tuesday and indie, although that still pulls in the crowds. The que is normally 20-30 minutes at 11pm which is annoying but the great thing about SU clubs is that theres always people you know and always people you dont. I actually love it to be honest, as girls prefer clubbing as oppose to guys so the ratio is always good. There also seems to be vast competition amongst girls to see who can look the best.

During the day the venue is a costa cafe and bar. There is then five other bars on campus each with pool tables, food, live music. Each one is slightly different ie, theres one where you go to play pool, two for footy, two for non smokers, and each has certain pre venue nights to cater for tastes, another good thing is they are getting 1am liscenses at the weekend so you dont have to go clubbing you can stay in the bars.

Theres two big dining halls, and then theres the bars who serve food, but the downside is the lack of places to eat on campus. It is a campus university so there are plenty of students always about.

Sports facilities it has a nice astro turf. tennis pitches, rugby, football, gym, sports hall but lacks a swimming pool. Its computer access is amazing too, with about 10 24/7 comp rooms, then a further 10 8-10 computer rooms. When I was without my laptop I only realised how good these facilities were. It has the usual off liscence, general store, bookshop, banks, endsleigh etc.

Its close to the city centre, 5 minute bus ride, 10 minute walk down the hill, 15 up. Canterbury itself lacks clubs but has tons and tons of pubs and this gives it a charm. Its european in its approach to pubs and restaurants, with lots of little pubs, restaurants and cafes. Overall canterbury is a student city with two universities and an art college theres always stuff going on.

I like it as I come from a big city, so I see it that I have the brum nightlife half the year and a relaxed nightlife the rest of the year.

Re: Paging Uni students

As most of us have only been to a few unions at the most, I don't expect we're very well educated in which is the "best".

I've only been to Exeters, Kents, Surreys and Northamptons.

Surrey's was the best one.
Exeter had the most attractive girls out of all of them though

What they don't tell you is that you have to enter yourself into this and there are usually only 5 entries.
But yes, it is a good union.

Re: Paging Uni students

The best I've been to is Warwick Union.

As Warwick is a closed campus university, they have what is called the "Warwick bubble". Everything you need is within this bubble and the union is quite modern and huge. They have a rootes social and their coolerbar, plenty of other bars etc.. very nice all round in all facilities imo

As for Soton - well we have a nice club (the cube) which has a capacity of around 2k people. It can host some rather nice nights, and has garnered interest from other unions such as Exeter etc.. who are interested to see how it functions so well and is so popular

http://www.virginstudent.com is an excellent place to find out all these sorts of details.Unfortunately it seems to be down at the moment

Re: Paging Uni students

The problem with Warwick (as with Loughborough and other campus uni's in small crappy places) is where you live in your 2nd and 3rd year. Noone ever thinks about that when they look around.
Yes it's a nice campus but having to live half an hour bus ride away (if you're lucky) in the lovely (heh) town of Coventry is an annoying downside.

Yes coventry is awful. My brother is living there (2nd year) and its honestly a pitiful place. He had to do it because he wanted to live in a big house neighbouring another big house (a whoel bunch of friends) - leamington spa couldn't provide this.

Although a bus doesn't take that long for him apparently. Only 15-20 mins and slightly less by car (which he uses)
