"A student society, student association, university society or student organization is a society or an organization, operated by students at a university or a college institution, whose membership typically consists only of students or
alumni."
Students should consider joining university societies (or student clubs) in order to take a break from academia and to do something in their spare time other than drink and party. Societies and clubs at university are a diverse collection of
groups and organisations ranging from sports teams to hobby organisations to political and liberation groups.
It can be daunting to decide which club or society to join when you first get to university.
Or you could use this opportunity to try something completely different, something that you would never usually have the opportunity to do
Once you've decided on this, it is then worth looking through the list of clubs or societies that your university offers (you can usually find this on the university website or when you first arrive at university) and having a couple that you
want to know more about.
Then most societies will offer a taste session so you can join in and try it out, without the commitment and then continue if you end up loving the club that you have chosen.
