The Global Room

About

The Global Room is a welcoming space for all students and staff to relax, connect, and feel part of a diverse community. It’s a place to meet new people, make friends, and take part in activities such as board games, book swaps, and cultural events.

We also offer opportunities for students to get involved through volunteering, helping to gain experience, build skills, and connect with others while supporting events in the space.

Regular drop-in sessions include DUSA Advice, Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, and International Student Support. Our Go Abroad drop-ins promote opportunities to work, study, or volunteer abroad.

Throughout the year, we celebrate events such as Holi, Lunar New Year, Ramadan, and St Andrews Day, alongside hosting discussions, free soup lunches, society activities, and social events with student societies and local agencies to help you connect to your new city and surroundings.

Whether you’re looking to meet people, try something new, or get involved, the Global Room is a space to connect, where communities come together and a sense of belonging grows.
