Over the past month, we\u2019ve been delighted to welcome new and returning students to Bath. In addition to increased safety measures<\/a>, as a university we\u2019ve also put a lot of work into giving students the best possible experience.<\/p>\n

\n

A new venue, the East Village<\/a><\/u>, recently opened to provide a safe, fun place to socialise on campus. The Students\u2019 Union have worked with local businesses such as Moles and Komedia to bring the best evening entertainment. In addition to in-person activities, the SU are also keeping spirits up online, with virtual pub quizzes and workouts on their Facebook group<\/a><\/u>.<\/p>\n
