As a freshman, there's really something you might be eager to find on campus, i.e., the chance to 1 yourself into the world of University Societies, and discover the wide 2 of activities at Oxford. You should first check out the large 3 of clubs at the OUSU Freshers' Fair, from which you will get a brand-new edition of the 4 guide to all things at Oxford. If you fail to attend the fair, you can still see what societies are offered in The Oxford Directory, a handbook 5 to you in Freshers' Week. The extent to which people get 6 in societies varies. Some totally 7 themselves in a club, rising to become a leader of the organization; others take a more 8 approach, being members of several societies and taking part in whichever is interesting to you; while many people, perhaps foolishly, completely 9 university societies and just hang out with mates in college. Societies offer a great chance to meet people from outside college. And if you have ambitions to open up a new society, you can register it and will get start-up 10 and loans.
