Bike
You can find excellent deals on brand new or second-hand bikes online on Gumtree. With Gumtree, you are able to pay on collection and in cash. So do not feel the need to advance any money to any seller even if they demand this. The University also runs an Active Ride scheme where you can hire a bike to use on campus for FREE.
Bus
The University runs its own bus service called Uno with discounted fares for students. To plan your travel and get tickets, download the Uno bus app. There is also a FREE shuttle bus between campuses if you do not fancy making the 15-minute walk.

Can I get Student Discounts on Rail Travel?
Access to London and the wider UK is served by an extensive rail network from Hatfield (Herts) Station. We highly recommend you apply for the 16-25 Railcard which saves you 1/3rd off the price of any rail ticket. If you are older than 25, do not worry. You can apply as a mature student. It costs only £30 for the whole year and is renewable if you are staying beyond a year. You can apply here.
Where can I buy train tickets?
Once you have got your Railcard, we recommend you use the Trainline ticketing platform to buy your ticket. You can download the app here and not only get tickets but also check timetables and updates.
REMEMBER!!! Before checking-out, make sure you include your Railcard in order for your 1/3rd discount to be applied. Also remember to carry your Railcard with you (whether physical or digital) as it will be checked on the train by the train conductor.
