Social spaces

Getting social at Middlesex University

From Fresher's week and throughout the year there's lots going on; events, clubs and societies, plus there are places to eat, drink, socialise and play sports. As well as green spaces for quiet walks and picnics.

"Middlesex University is awesome! The student life here is off the charts. There are so many cool clubs, societies, and events happening all the time. You'll never be bored, trust me!"
