University isn’t just about studying, and it’s a great time to enjoy an active social life! Fortunately, there are plenty of things for students to do in and around Lancaster in their free time. In this blog, I’ll share with you some of my favourite things to do when I’m not studying for my degree.
Student societies
Joining a student society is the best way to make new friends at university. Lancaster has over 175 societies open to students from all years to join, enabling you to meet people with similar passions, hobbies, and interests. I am an active member of a student political society and was elected to the Executive Committee as Media & Publicity Secretary in my first year. Each week we meet to debate current affairs and political issues before spending the evening at a social event. I met my best friends at university by getting involved in with societies, and I would encourage all new students at Lancaster to do so too!
