Facilities
As the Open University is a distance learning university, the Students Association does not have the scope to provide year-round bars, shops and other facilities to its members that other students unions do. However, it does provide an online shop which sells past Open University exam papers and branded merchandise. Most social interaction between students takes place online, or within the Association's Regions and Nations.
The Association usually has a presence at open days, graduation ceremonies and residential schools.

“Marriage is good enough for the lower classes: they have facilities for desertion that are denied to us.”
