Top 5 things to do during the Summer holidays

Volunteer

Volunteering is not only rewarding but also a great way to gain new skills, meet people, and contribute to your community. Look for opportunities both locally and abroad to broaden your perspectives. Most charities have volunteering opportunities for students, such as The Children's Society.

Travel

Whether it's a backpacking adventure across Europe, a cultural exchange program, or simply exploring hidden gems in your own country, travel can be an enriching experience, offering you new insights, cultures, and friendships.

Earn Some Money

Summer jobs can help you save up for the next term, reduce your student debt, or fund your next holiday. It's also a chance to develop skills like customer service, time management, and teamwork. We actually partner with Stint which is an awesome platform to get part-time work as a student.

Explore Your University Town or City

If you're staying near your university over the summer, take the time to explore your surroundings. Many students miss out on what's right on their doorstep during term time.

Rest and Rejuvenate

Don't underestimate the importance of simply taking time out to relax. Recharge your batteries by spending time with friends and family, enjoying long summer days, and taking care of your physical and mental health.
