Student societies are behind most of the social activity on campus every year. You’ll find that your membership and

It is easy to join too, especially dur- ing Freshers’ Week – Ireland’s largest student event – at the beginning of the academic year when societies and clubs promote themselves to recruit new mem- bers. Make sure to get involved!
