Lots of universities operate Twitter accounts (some listed here on Liz Azyan’s site), but what about the Student Unions?

I’ve long said that the Student Union (or Guild of Students) is a wonderful resource that’s often overlooked by students as just a group that sets up events and handles societies. But a Student Union is so much more and it’s there for you! It acts as a representative to all students, working on your behalf to get as much possible to help and support you as you study.
I’ve scoured the Twitterverse to find which Unions have Twitter accounts. The list is below. They’re worth keeping an eye on as a quick way to stay up to date with events and news.
If I’m missing any that you know of (or run), let me know via Twitter (universityboy) and I’ll add it to the list.
