This event explored the experiences of commuter students and considered how they can be better supported.
There is growing recognition across the sector that students who commute face particular challenges to accessing and thriving in higher education. As the number of commuter students continues to rise, understanding their experiences and the risks they face is essential in helping them get the most from their studies.
In this webinar, we shared key findings from our recent research and explored how commuter students can be better supported.
We heard reflections from a student representative about their experience as a commuter student and how this shaped their approach to representing and supporting their peers. We then brought together a panel of experts from across the higher education sector to explore what effective support looks like in practice.
