Are you feeling the pressure of exams and in need of a break? Look no further than “The Living Room,” your oasis of relaxation right next to the bookshop.

UC Student Wellbeing has transformed “The Living Room” from October 24th to October 27th, 2023, between 9am and 3:30pm to be your go-to spot for serenity. Enjoy a range of delights, including complimentary mocktails, pastries, and more.

But that’s not all! Immerse yourself in cosy vibes, bond with friends, create your own personalised tea blend to take home, contribute to a collaborative paint-by-numbers mural, revel in board games, or relax with calming colouring activities.

Additionally, on October 26, 2023, at 2:30 pm, you can channel your inner artist at “Paint and Sip” with cheese, crackers, and an array of non-alcoholic beverages.

We’ve also reserved dedicated study areas for you to concentrate on your learning. During these times, our team will surprise you with snack and fruit deliveries to boost your study sessions.
