Night LineNightline is a student run, confidential listening and information service. Nightliners are on duty every night from 7pm-8am during term time to listen to any problem you may have. Whether you are stressed, worried about exams, having problems with friends or just want a chat, we are more than happy to listen. Your call will be welcomed whatever the hour.
