Societies at Kingston University

As we all know and hear from everyone that the greatest way to find friends is by joining societies. I’m a student ambassador at Kingston university and I will introduce you (our current and prospective students) to the societies we have here in Kingston 💜. People always say that you can meet your future friends in societies because societies are like little communities where everyone shares the same interest/religion/ethnicity/hobby, which is honestly true. You can check all of Kingston’s societies, here. But I will also briefly introduce some of our popular ones.

African and Caribbean society (ACS)

ACS is one of the most vibrant cultural societies on campus, they hold both chill and fun nights.

Watch their games night event vlog and keep an eye out for their next fun event 🎉
