Clubs and why it is important to join

Students all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Did you know that by joining a club it is fun as well as a great opportunity to network with people? Well it is and we explain the types of clubs that you can expect.

The most important club you'll need at uni: student union membership- it is $10- $20 per year. Here you will get lots and lots of member benefits.

Five categories of student clubs
1) Spiritual/Religious- these clubs meets once a week and they have spiritual gatherings. They are usually free to join

2) Sport and Art- they are usually run by the uni, hence they are free for uni students to join. There is usually something out there for everyone. This is a great chance for you to meet and mingle with the locals. In some sporting clubs such as netball there are teams and you'd get assigned to one if you don't have one. Joining a sport is a great way to keep healthy.

The art ones have always got a gallery or exhibition opening showcasing student work.

3) Cultural- these cost a small fee to join. The money that they collect is used to help fund for their events to which some of them are free for members. If you join and pay you'll usually get a goodie bag and some discounts. It is a great way to make friends and lose all feelings of homesickness.

4) Academic- there are clubs for each discipline that you are studying in like: AIESEC which is all about accounting and business. These clubs might have some second year and third year students who may have done some of your subjects/courses and could give you some tips on aceing the exam.

5) Clubs just for fun- there are gaming clubs and and anime clubs. There is usually something to suit everyone's hobbies. After all "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy".

 There are always clubs to suit everyone's interest. But if there's one that you want and its not at your uni, you can always start one. Each club needs 10 student members and each uni's student union has a clubs and societies officer.
