5 Things We Wish We'd Known at UCB
Whether you're new to UCB or returning to campus, you can always discover something new. That's why we made our guide with '5 Things We Wish We'd Known' when we started. If you want to ask me about anything here, you can just message me on my Vice-President Instagram account!

Societies are the BEST!
You don’t need the experience to join a society – you really can join any and as many as you like! The Guild is offering a free (yes FREE) 'Taster Membership' for the first semester, so make the most of it while you can! It’s super easy, just head to our opportunties section to see our HUGE range of societies and to sign up.
Academic Stuff
The Guild represents you and your academic interests. So, if you have any feedback or issues with your courses, grades, lecturers… anything! We can feed it to the Uni, support you and represent you and be by your. If you are struggling with your course and need some support or mentoring, try email mentoring@ucb.ac.uk or speak to the ACS team.

Represent
You can represent your course mates as a Course Rep and help change things. This allows you to tell the Uni what’s going well - so they can do more of it, as well as telling them what isn’t. It’s always good to suggest ways they can change and the things they need to adjust. Find out more here!
We have also launched Course-Based Societies; this is also a great way to get involved with your course, and they are FREE all year round! We suggest you start with your course-based society, as they're a great way to learn, socialise and meet new people on your course. Click here for Course Based Societies!
FOOOOOOD
We have delicious treats made by our students at ‘Cakes and Bakes’, go find these in Summer Row. If you want more than just a treat, go to ‘The Dining Room’ in Moss House and get your hands on the BEST pizza in Birmingham. It has our stamp of approval.
Hoodies, Merch and More!
We have hoodies!!!! We are looking to add more to our list of merch too so keep an eye out online and in our Guild Shop which is in Moss House.
