The Great Club Count: Separating Fact from Fiction (Mostly Fiction)
There are whispers on the quad, rumors in the library stacks, of a number so vast it boggles the mind. Is it 300? Maybe even a staggering 450? Could there be a hidden society with a secret handshake guarding the true number, only revealed to those who wear sensible shoes on a Friday night? (Okay, that last one might be a stretch, but hey, the suspense is thrilling, right?)
Fear not, intrepid adventurer! The truth, as revealed by the official Boston College website (gasp!), is that there are over 273 student-run groups for you to sink your teeth (or metaphorical teeth, depending on the club) into.
From Quidditch to Chess Club: A Glimpse into the Clubosphere
That's right, folks. Over 273! We're talking everything from the BC Beekeeping Club (because who doesn't want to casually mention they're a beekeeper at a party?) to the Chess Club (strategize your way to victory, on and off the board).
QuickTip: Pause to connect ideas in your mind.
Feeling the artistic itch? The Arts Society awaits! Want to delve into the political arena? The Mock Trial Club is your oyster. There's even a Hoops for Hope Club for those who want to combine their love of basketball with giving back.
Basically, if you can dream it, there's probably a club for it (or at least the ingredients to start one).
So You Want to Join a Club?
Fantastic choice! The best part about BC's club scene is the sheer variety. You're bound to find a group of people who share your passions, whether it's debating the merits of pineapple on pizza (controversial, I know) or dissecting the latest episode of your favorite show.
Here's the not-so-secret secret: Most clubs have information sessions or tabling events at the beginning of the semester. Keep your eyes peeled and your social battery charged, because that's your golden opportunity to chat with members and see if the club's a good fit.
QuickTip: Treat each section as a mini-guide.
