University societies - do you wanna be in my gang?

University societies attract like-minded people. What better place to meet friends

“Societies are absolutely fantastic at creating that sense of belonging that students need to keep them in education,” says Richard Brooks, NUS vice-president of union development.

“It’s about meeting people who are like you and who care about you. Plus, students who take part in societies are not only less likely to drop out – they also go on to get good honours degrees and have better employment prospects, too.”
