There are few times in life better suited to trying new things than your student years. In fact, many people would say that’s the whole point of going to university. Higher education is about more than just the subject you study – it’s a time to meet new people, step outside of your comfort zone and discover new things about yourself. And one of the best ways to do that is by joining student clubs and societies.
Now in the third year of his philosophy degree at the University of Lincoln, Thomas Woodcock is a member of no less than seven student societies – ranging from archery to animal sciences, the book club to bellringing, and Kin-Ball to philosophy. The 22-year-old’s choice of societies perfectly illustrates the huge range of clubs on offer at universities – whether you’re looking to keep fit, learn or maintain skills, dive deeper into your degree subject or simply socialise, there will almost definitely be something that ticks the box.
