Clubs and societies
Students run more than 200 clubs and societies with the support of the University of Sydney Union (USU). This gives you the opportunity to meet other students with similar interests, practise your skills or learn something new.
You will need to have USU Membership to join, available through the USU.
You can search the different clubs and societies on the USU website. Many of them are free to join and others will require a small fee to help cover the cost of events or equipment.
You can also start your own club. Information and the requirements you will need to meet are outlined on the USU website.
Social media
Moving to a new city can feel daunting, so it’s important to connect with local communities to help you settle in. Joining our official University social media communities is a great place to start, where you’ll find out important information about study and life in Sydney, as well as fun events on campus.
