Mature, Part-time and Commuting Network
The Mature, Part-time, and Commuter Student Network acts as the voice for defining students, representing students and helping shape the student experience at the University and the Union. The Network also aims to create a social community on campus.

As you have further to travel to reach campus, you may want to spend a longer amount of time here to make the most of your day.
