Student Life
The Students' Union is run by students for students as a campaigning and representative organisation. It is a charity currently exempt from registration and is led by five Sabbatical Officers (President and 4 Vice-Presidents) and a 37 member Student Council.
The Students' Union offers a range of student activities such as Volunteer Northumbria, One Planet, Raise and Give (Rag), Give It A Go and Skills sessions. It represents students in academic and non-academic matters through a nationally recognised School Reps and Post Graduate Research Reps Systems, as well as newly introduced Community Reps and Caucus group chairs.
The university building contains several venues for students to socialise in a safe environment, chiefly at Habita (Formerly Bar One), Domain (formerly The Venue) and Reds.
In 2011, Northumbria Student's Union received the National Union of Student's award for best higher education students union.

Famous quotes containing the words student and/or life:
“They tend to be suspicious, bristly, paranoid-type people with huge egos they push around like some elephantiasis victim with his distended testicles in a wheelbarrow terrified no doubt that some skulking ingrate of a clone student will sneak into his very brain and steal his genius work.”
—William Burroughs (b. 1914)
“Neither a life of anarchy nor one beneath a despot should you praise; to all that lies in the middle a god has given excellence.”
—Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)
