Joining a club or society at university is an excellent way of meeting new people, trying something new and having fun! Every university has a wide range of different sports teams and societies that are available to join. These vary from things like football and drama to cheese and biscuits and gaming societies. Whatever you are interested in, you will be able to find a society to fit it, and if not, it is very easy to start your own! Societies are usually free however some may come with a small sign up fee but it is different for every university. You will be able to sign up for clubs and societies at freshers fair, through the students union or by getting in contact with the societies directly. Joining a society isn’t just for freshers, if you’re going into third year and fancy trying out something new you can still join a society!
Joining clubs and societies can be a great way to make your university experience even better and is definitely something worth trying.
