Some people commute across London — I commute between Manchester and London. So yes, I really understand commuter life.
As a commuter student myself, I know how challenging it can be to balance long journeys with university life. Sometimes commuters feel invisible in a campus culture built around living nearby.
I also run a social media platform with a large audience, which means I can help bring visibility to commuter students, share our experiences, and advocate for better support. I want to make sure commuter voices are not only heard, but represented.
If elected, I want to focus on practical changes that make commuting easier. For example, pushing for more bookable quiet spaces for commuters who need somewhere to stay between classes, and clearer information about places on campus where commuters can rest, study, or store belongings.
I also want to organise commuter-friendly meetups scheduled between common class hours, so people don’t have to stay late on campus to participate. I want to create a clearer channel for commuter students to share feedback with the Students’ Union, so real commuter concerns can actually lead to policy changes.
Vote for me because I’m allergic to vague promises. I’ll turn commuter complaints into a checklist and chase updates, not “we’ll look into it”. Expect clear info, commuter-timed meetups, and regular feedback reports so you can actually see what’s changing. I’ll be the person who follows up after the meeting — and again — until commuters get results. Vote for me if you’re tired of being told “just stay late on campus” when your train says otherwise. I’ll make commuter life simpler. Less talk, more fixes.
In the Commuters Network, we need a sociable person - like myself.
I have been involved in numerous social events around UCL Campus, such that I have been involved in volunteering for UCL ISOC during Ramadan, as well as wearing the dinosaur costume on campus. As a result, I believe I would be the best fit tor the role because I have a passion for giving back to the community. Also, I have been involved in organising numerous charity events for UCL Bangla Society where I organised the timeline of events for MAA Month 2026. Therefore, I have strong organisational skills.
If I am elected to be the Commuters Network Secretary, I want to achieve:
- Contribute towards setting up an active commuters network at UCL through social events.
- Currently, most events at UCL end late into the evening (like at 9-10pm) and this deters most commuters (including myself) from attending events. Thus, I want to organise having more networking events (eg. Speedfriending and human bingo) and games nights that are commuter friendly (eg. before 8pm).
- Making the UCL Commuters Network just as popular (or even more!) as the other networks (like the POC and Mature Students Network).
You should vote for me to be your Commuters Network Secretary if you want to see frequent social events where we work on campaigns and fundraiser for charities (which is part of the Commuters Network goals) to create social impact, both for the community and the local environment.
Also, if you vote for me, there will be lots of fun events, like games nights and competitions (With other networks around UCL), to maximise our outreach both in the UCL Community and the London Community.
