Location📍: Maclay Common Room 

Event Vibe:🌿Calm & Relaxed |🎯Activity-Focussed

Join fellow postgraduate students from across our accommodations for an informal evening of conversation, shared experiences, and practical advice. Whether you're figuring out how to stay productive, manage deadlines, balance wellbeing, work with supervisors, or plan your next career step, this session is all about learning from people who understand the postgraduate journey.

Through interactive activities, you'll swap tips, explore different approaches to academic challenges, and help build a community of support within your residence.

You'll leave with:

  • Practical advice from fellow postgraduates
  • New perspectives on common academic challenges
  • Connections with other postgrad resident

No presentations, no pressure, and no need to have all the answers; just a chance to share, connect, and learn together over snacks and refreshments.

Although hosted at our Maclay residences, this event is open to all postgraduate students staying in UofG Accommodation.

Approximate number of attendees: 15-25
Summary of event activities: some low-pressure group activities and one-to-one ice breakers. Some feeding back to the wider group, but no pressure to do this. 
Anticipated Noise Level: casual conversation and some low background music.
No pressure to participate in every activity, if you want to come along and just learn from the experiences of others that's ok. 
ResLife Staff led.
