There is a lack of wet rooms in the university, as Muslim students, we need a place to do wudu for each prayer and it involves washing your hands AND feet specially, so we are able to find places to pray around the campus but its difficult to perform ablution (wudu) without splashing water in the bathroom around the sink. One would be specially needed near pgr office spaces specially and for a neuro diverse person with Dyspraxia its a bit difficult to prevent water from splashing about. Also, Muslims need water in the toilets to its a bit of inconvenience having not a single toilet with a water bidet and you have to take a water bottle with you so atleast each building should have a separate male/female toilet with a water bidet. The nearest prayer hall (McDougalls) is too far away to travel for each prayer with the proper facilities.

I am based in Jean McFarlane, but i don't know of any other buildings that have these facilities

challenges we faced : To enhance inclusivity and understanding of differences in the Faculty of Biological and Medical Sciences (FBMH), it would be beneficial to implement an initial one or two-week orientation period for students and staff. This orientation period could focus on fostering relationships between students and staff, aiming to alleviate any fears or apprehensions on both sides. Many students may not be familiar with how to approach teaching staff, so it's important for staff and supervisors to take the initiative in addressing these challenges. They should proactively engage with students, particularly those facing difficulties such as late submissions, instead of solely resorting to punitive measures like low grades. It's crucial to remember that students come to learn and grow, not just to be judged.

Education challenges: It is sometime unfair that those who work or know staff can reach more info about assignments. as in postgraduate study some students work along with supervisors/ tutor which give them prevalege to talk more about assignments then have higher marks. while t classroom we dont know if it is allowed to ask more info about assignment . especialy some tutors/supervisors dont reach out to students with struggles.

Some supervisors claim all they time they are busy , so we feel embarressed to ask by email , also we get less than the asigned training hours for meetings, but they will mark our papers /assignments so we cant complain as many warned us they wont treat you fairly , even the committe with stand with supervisors/tutors , they are colleagues and you dont belong to their group. Isuggest to watch the work and meetings of supervision, to ask students in themid of term if they have any issue, or if they want to change their supervisor due to biased or misagrements toward them .

challenges in learning : some rules are not clear how to write/ perform assignments. and supervosors make it more vague , as if we ask them about points we face, they will focus on while marking, instead of helping us with , they will judge us about. so supervisor should keep struggles confidential and train us instead of mark us low for asking them .

it would be good if they were a bit bigger, or separate for males/females where we are not rushed to just pray and leave, but we would have some time to sit and reflect or just sit back and relax before rushing off to other work, i have tried the simon building quiet room in which u have to take turns if there is a male person and wait them to leave before u can go and pray as its not recommended to pray in front of them. the wet room for wudu (as mentioned in another padlet) should be ideally located close to the prayer room so we can put our stuff and put on slippers and go and do wudu and came back to pray, or if possible a small wudu area for 2-3 persons within the prayer room would be good as well(it was in my uni in London so i know its possible) and the toilet on that floor had bidets so I am thinking and suggesting something on those lines. Similarly the engineering building prayer room is too small with a partition that makes it possible for only 2 ladies to pray and maybe 4 or 5 gentlemen. However the accessible toilets with sinks in the engineering building make it possible to do wudu privately as for wudu also involves wetting the hair so hijabi girls can not do it in places which are accessible to all genders and also in bathrooms where trans gender women might come you have to keep on the lookout as you have to hide your hair so its quite exhausting and frustrating
