Student life
Getting involved
When it comes to making the most of your University experience, the range of extra-curricular activities on offer at Sydney is extensive. We have even been voted the best student experience in Australia by the National Union of Students (NUS) on more than one occasion.
The University of Sydney Union (USU), Student Representative Council (SRC) and Sydney Uni Sport and Fitness (SUSF) combine to enrich life outside the classroom (or provide you with assistance) and we hope you’ll take full advantage of what is on offer.
The range of opportunities available to you is too vast to list, but explore the websites for each (by clicking their logos below), and don’t forget to come along to O-Week where you can experience some of them first hand.
