Abstract

University campuses and the services they run can often operate in an exclusive campus bubble to cater for the traditional student excluding non-traditional students from accessing the full higher education experience. This chapter will offer a consideration for the reader when planning, delivering and strategizing any services or activities students may engage in to complement their studies. The chapter will comment on how decision making in higher education is sometimes historically detached in the past and that mistakes can often be made by focusing on the students within the campus bubble who are studying full time in a closed geographical location. Therefore, this chapter reminds readers to consider those students sometimes excluded from campus activities and services and who may subsequently, live the less traditional student experience.
