Safe Spaces on Campus

Creating Safe Spaces for Students

University life can be exciting and enriching, but it’s also important to have spaces where students feel supported, respected, and free to be themselves. Our campus is committed to fostering inclusive and welcoming environments where students can connect, reflect, and seek support when needed. Whether you’re looking for a quiet place to unwind, a community that shares your experiences, or professional guidance, our safe spaces provide the resources and support to help you thrive. Explore the various locations across campus designed to ensure every student feels valued, and safe.

Queer Lounges

The Queer Lounge is a dedicated space for LGBTQIA+ students to connect, relax, and feel supported. Whether you’re looking for a place to socialise, study, or simply take a break in a welcoming environment, this space is open to all queer students and allies. Equipped with comfortable seating, resources, and a strong sense of community, the Queer Lounge is a safe haven where you can be yourself without judgment.
