Welcome to beyond the books, a page dedicated to exploring the multifaceted challenges faced by students. We are a group of students learning the ups and downs of student life and creating a place where everyone feels heard. This page creates a safe space to find your community at TRU. As navigating school life becomes more complex than ever with pressures from different aspects of life, ranging from academic performance, financial obligation, managing mental health and a social life. Without an outlet for students’ voices to be heard, it may feel as though they are going through it alone. This website aims to be the voice of the students navigating university, speaking on their behalf addressing the challenges they face as well as sharing all the things you can do beyond the books!
