What is the biggest issue currently facing RGU students, and how will you work with the rest of the Student Presidents and Vice Presidents to tackle this?
One of the biggest issues currently facing RGU students in Aberdeen is the lack of affordable housing options. To tackle this, working with the Student President and Vice President, a comprehensive strategy can be developed. This strategy may involve advocating for increased student accommodation options, collaborating with local authorities to address housing shortages, and exploring partnerships with private developers to provide affordable housing solutions. Additionally, engaging in student-led campaigns, conducting surveys to gather student perspectives, and actively involving the Student Union in discussions and negotiations with relevant stakeholders can also be effective in addressing this pressing issue.
