| What Clubs Are At Ut Austin |
From Quidditch to K-Pop: A Club for Every Creature
Feeling like Hermione Granger but with a broomstick allergy? Fear not, the Quidditch Club at UT Austin will have you soaring through the air (minus the flying snitch, that is). Or maybe you're more of a "Dynamite" kind of person. The K-Pop Dance Club will have you busting a move like BTS in no time.
Feeling peckish? We have a club for that too! (Though, hopefully it involves making food, not becoming it.) The Baking Club is perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth and your inner Martha Stewart.
But wait, there's more! Here's just a taste of the smorgasbord of clubs you'll find at UT Austin:
Tip: Read mindfully — avoid distractions.
- For the Gamers: The eSports Club, Board Game Guild, and yes, even a Chess Club (because strategy is sexy, people!)
- For the Creatives: The Film Society, Writers' Guild, and the quirky Kermit the Frog Appreciation Society (because why not?)
- For the Outdoorsy Folks: The Rock Climbing Club, Hiking Club, and the absolutely delightful Corgi Lovers Club (because who doesn't love a fluffy loaf of bread with legs?)
Feeling overwhelmed? Don't worry, we've got you covered.
