back to topOU students association (OUSA)

OUSA residential school reps (resi reps) play an important role at residential schools at all main UK sites throughout the summer school period. The reps are fellow students who volunteer their time and experience to benefit other students at the school.

The reps organise the social events, sell OU merchandise through their stalls, provide local information and are generally there to help students. Their aim is to help make the student experience of residential schools enjoyable, informative and stress free. The reps will be there to meet students when they arrive at the school and will always be easy to find. They are always approachable when the student needs advice or just a friendly chat.

For further information about becoming a resi rep visit www.open.ac.uk/ousa/residential_school.php
