How Minibuses can Aid Student Societies

22 October 2018

​For those of you who attended university, we’re sure that there is a strong consensus that being a student was a once in a lifetime experience. The freedom, fun and discovering a career path while being an undergraduate was an unforgettable time in many people’s lives. One aspect of university which stands out for the majority of us was being a crucial part of specific societies and social events with other students. Utilising a minibus to make these social events happen is crucial for students’ developments while having the time of their lives.

Many universities across the country have access to a minibus, but don’t utilise this great asset in the best possible way. Being responsible for the running of societies can be a daunting task, although taking the appropriate steps to maximum student satisfaction and enjoyment can make this role very rewarding. Setting boundaries on the minibus can reinforce key life skills for all students. As we all know, alcohol may play a big role in students’ social life, so setting these ground rules encourages students to be more responsible, while minimalizing the risk of damage or injury to those around them. Once your students are at their destination, the local pubs and bars will welcome their custom!

Utilising a minibus gives students an additional sense of responsibility. The individuals who maintain the society should feel open to discuss a mix of educational, fun and outgoing trips which are beneficial for their experience. Taking students on a trip outside of their usual lectures can be a refreshing change from reality, especially for university sports teams.

It’s crucial for a team to maintain motivated and together, to keep the core values of competitiveness within the group together. Using a minibus on the way to training or on match days can be invaluable to build on strong working relationships between students. Team work between students in sports can help give participants stronger communication skills and teach them to work better together, while learning valuable life lessons.
