Why a welfare department?
Today, being a student can often leave you feeling like you need an extra injection of cerebral juices along with an internal diary and database. Not to mention a Swiss bank account. Even the old catch phrase ‘P’s’ get degrees’ can set the bar a little high when you’re working 18 hours a week, dealing with dodgy landlords, living off vita-wheat sangers and trying to complete a new ‘breadth’ degree. What’s a breadth degree when your life is a lesson in ‘overstretched’?
Enter the welfare department. We’re here to advocate student positions regarding housing, financial difficulties, work and the quality of your tertiary education. Come and see us with ideas and/or energy for campaigns or to just tell us your troubles.
