Is getting up hard? Introducing Fam O’Clock, the interactive the alarm clock that keeps your family close

Starting university away from home is one of the most exciting adventures of your life. You arrive in a new city, check out your student accommodation, meet your future best friends and begin to savour that long-awaited university independence.

But, let’s not kid ourselves: on this new journey, two small but inevitable challenges usually crop up. The first is that you’re going to miss home and your family traditions from time to time. The second is much more pragmatic: making sure to get to the eight o’clock class on time.

At Canvas Student, our aim is much more than simply providing student accommodation; we want to create a real home away from home. That’s why, at this time of year when thousands of young people are getting their university offers and planning the upcoming academic year, we wanted to launch a very special initiative to tackle both these challenges with a healthy dose of humour, empathy and emotion.

Introducing Fam O’Clock: the only alarm clock that can get you out of bed by making you feel as though you’re with your loved ones.
