Pets as Therapy
We're lucky enough to work with many wonderful volunteers at the Pets as Therapy (PAT) charity to bring Therapy Dogs onto campus to boost your mood, reduce homesickness and encourage you to take time out from your studies.
Our sessions are usually held in the Japanese Garden (outside the Student Centre), the Wilkins Terrace (outside the North Cloister) or inside the North and South Cloisters on the UCL Main Campus (Bloomsbury). There is no need to book, simply turn up and pet a pooch!
