Starting Uni is such an adrenaline-pumping experience. For me, leaving that high School bubble and venturing into a uni lifestyle was a big step into adulthood and independence. Not only are you finding like-minded people with similar interests, but you’re meeting so many people with a variety of different life experiences. Some of these people will become your lifelong friends and potentially set up a solid network that can help boost your career.
Finding these people can be a bit difficult outside of classes. And even then, opportunities to talk to your fellow classmates can be limited within lectures.
That’s where societies at uni come in. Societies at Uni are specialised clubs where you can find like-minded people who share a similar hobby or career goal in mind. Joining a society can help you refine your talents or provide you with some great networking opportunities.
Joining a society can feel overwhelming, especially if your schedule at Uni is hectic or spread out over the week. It can also be tough to make it to campus for events if you live far away as well or have work commitments.
“It’s hard, not gonna lie, never mind trying to squeeze work into there as well,” says Chandra Altoff, the President of Victoria University’s Student Union.
