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.

“But suppose, asks the student of the professor, we follow all your structural rules for writing, what about that “something else” that brings the book alive? What is the formula for that? The formula for that is not included in the curriculum.”
—Fannie Hurst (1889–1968)
“The striking point about our model family is not simply the compete-compete, consume-consume style of life it urges us to follow.... The striking point, in the face of all the propaganda, is how few Americans actually live this way.”
—Louise Kapp Howe (b. 1934)
