So You Wanna Join a Club at BU? Buckle Up, Buttercup, It's a Jungle Out There (But in a Fun Way)
Ever felt like a lone penguin on campus? Or maybe you're a social butterfly looking for your perfect hive? Well, fret no more, my friend, because Boston University boasts a club scene that puts Studio 54 to shame (without the questionable fashion choices). But with over 450 student organizations, the question isn't whether there's a club for you, it's how to choose just one (or ten)!
From Quidditch to Beekeeping: A Club smorgasbord Awaits
Whether you're a die-hard Harry Potter fan yearning to fly on a broomstick (sorry, the Quidditch Club uses dodgeballs), or an aspiring bee whisperer with a secret love for honey (the Beekeepers Club is your haven!), BU's got something for every quirky interest.
Feeling academic? Dive into the world of debate with the Debate Society, or join the pre-med pack with the American Medical Student Association.
More on the artistic side? Unleash your inner Picasso with the Art History Association, or tap into your inner Fred Astaire with the Ballroom Dance Club.
Do activism and social justice get your heart racing? Rally for change with Amnesty International or lend a helping hand with the Best Buddies program.
Need a break from the textbooks? The Boardgames Club is your chill zone, while the BU On Tap crew promises a frothy escape (because sometimes, all you need is a good beer with good company).
This is just the tip of the iceberg, folks. There are cultural clubs, religious organizations, political groups, and even a Crime Scene Investigators Club (perfect for those who binge-watch CSI reruns).
Important side note: If you can't find your dream club, don't despair! BU empowers students to start their own organizations. So, gather your passionate pals and get chartering!
