Quiet campus in a nice area, lacks extracurriculars - PhD Student The Open University Employee Review

Thank you for sharing your experience. It’s great to hear that you value the campus environment and the Milton Keynes location. We know how important a calm and supportive setting can be, particularly for colleagues focused on research. We also appreciate your feedback about extracurricular opportunities. Alongside the campus facilities, including sports and social spaces, there are a range of staff and postgraduate activities available through the OU Club, as well as student societies, events and interest groups facilitated by the Open University Students Association - OpenSU https://www.oustudents.com/get-involved/clubs-and-societies/full-list-of-clubs/. These are designed to offer opportunities to connect, build community and get involved both on campus and more widely. We do recognise that visibility and access to these opportunities can vary, and we are continuing to look at how we better connect colleagues and students with what’s available. Thank you again for your balanced feedback, we’re pleased to have you as part of our community and appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective.
