Not enough student loan? You're not alone!

Daniela Commey is standing to be your NUS Delegate 2022/23! 

Also standing for School Rep: CCW ¦ Art 

Can we talk about the political and the economic state of the world right now? We are living in a state of anxiety and uncertainty because of the Cost-of-Living Crisis. More students are getting into dept, while 12% have taken out bank loans and 40% are relying on their savings to get by. 

We have a lot on our plates but not enough to eat... 

But together we make student life more affordable. 

What's in it for you? 

Ensuring UAL tackles the crisis with a package of measures. 

Funding & Finance - Investing in your creative potential / campus life. 

  • Canteen - reduced (past ‘before-best’ date) food items, meal deals and vouchers! 

  • Seasonal sales at Arts Shop UAL (rotating items).  

  • UAL exclusive competitions / awards (other than our lovely Christmas Card competition).  

Welfare - Wellbeing and protection for both home & international students. 

  • Student housing - bringing awareness to your legal rights and responsibilities. 

  • How to report fraud, scams and exploitation / detecting online fraud and cybercrime.  

Social - Arts Active, societies and opportunities! 

  • Support our new and existing societies to expand and increase their engagement. 

  • External Funding for our Clubs, Societies and Teams – explore funding and sponsorship opportunities which do not conflict with the Students’ Union. 

Why should you vote for me? 

In the last four years, I have been enrolled at three different universities and taken two courses. I have been a course rep and a student ambassador twice! I understand the different approaches universities take to their students. By running for these positions, I represent those who do not give up on pursuing education, despite financial hardships! In my campaign, I'm fighting for you to get the most value from your education and graduate without financial insecurities.
