Societies Fayre (aka FAIR)

Today was the societies fayre at the University of Kent. Basically there are over 200 societies/ clubs: ranging from charity, music, and language clubs to Anime, shooting, and religious clubs. There were many booths set up around central campus with flyers on information and events within each club. In an effort to get more involved on campus during my short stay here, I decided to join a few. I joined the history society (of course), the dance society, and the music society.

I didn't receive much information regarding the history society but I assume they get together at pubs and local eateries to discuss history and topics of interest. I'm hoping to gain a lot of insight from these meetings and broaden my historical perspective. The dance society seemed like a lot of fun. They offer dance classes multiple times a week and include all sorts of styles of dance such as Zumba, jazz, ballet, and more! The last society I joined was the music society, which includes instruments and vocals. There are various levels depending how involved you want to get. Most societies have introduction meetings next week, so I am hoping to get more information. Most likely, I am only here on campus for the autumn term and I want to make the most of my experience here. Getting involved in a society or two (or three) seemed like a good way to do so!
