Quiz: Which student association should you join?

Athletic/Recreational

You're clearly an avid sports and fitness nut, so you'll flourish in a sports or fitness-centered student society! It's a great way to pick up a new sport or learn something new too, so go on, go outside your comfort zone and pick a sport that you haven't tried before.

Community Service

You want to do good in the world, and college is a great place to start. Wherever you are, you're sure to find quite a few student associations that involve volunteer work in the community, or you can join external organisations such as Big Brother. It will definitely be a rewarding experience!

Social/Cultural

You're a social butterfly who wants to meet new people and immerse in culture. You could join a fraternity or sorority, or get involved in a cultural association. You could also join the International Student Association if your university has one.

Career/Pre-professional

You're pretty career-driven and are already planning what you're going to do after graduation. That's great! You could benefit from joining a society for your major, such as Law Society or Business Association, or you could join a leadership society that helps you learn skills for success.
