As part of our ongoing work to ensure the very best experience at university for all our residents, we are dedicated to listening to and understanding your views on student life. In addition to our existing social media platforms and on-site committee meetings, this July we are launching the first annual DIGS student survey in order to provide another outlet for you, our residents, to voice the issues that matter to you most. Your responses will be used to inform our work with the new media to help get your opinions out into the public domain. Please take a few minutes to fill in the survey below and do let us know if you have any further comments.
