Friday 17 May 2013
The new headquarters for The Student Room Group, which owns the world’s largest online student community The Student Room (www.thestudentroom.co.uk), was officially opened today by Universities Minister David Willetts.

Next week will be a rather special one for The Student Room. We’ll be officially opening our shiny new offices, introducing a raft of cool changes across our websites (watch this space!) and hosting a fantastic event to celebrate the power the ‘Big communities’ – amongst other things, we’ll be hosting a panel event with some of the UK’s biggest online communities including Mumsnet and Doctors.net.uk to discuss what community means to them.

The Student Room welcomes the Government’s announcement today on the new Technical Baccalaureate measure - and the affirmation of its commitment to putting high-quality vocational education on a par with traditional academic study.
According to our recent joint research on the influence of social media on university choice (below), students still feel that university engagement via social media leaves much to be desired. 1 in 5 suggested that don’t think universities make enough use of social media in recruitment. But what does this mean for universities – should they simply stop trying? Or does this tell us some institutions could rethink their approach to social media for the benefit of both student and institution?
