Club Tips from Real Students
Splashdown is Key
The fall activities fair (Splashdown) is overwhelming but essential. Walk through once to scout, then go back to the booths that interest you.
Quality Over Quantity
Join 2-3 clubs you're genuinely interested in rather than 10 you'll never attend. Depth beats breadth for making real friends.
Give It Time
Most clubs feel awkward the first few meetings. Commit to attending at least 4-5 times before deciding if it's for you.
Start Something New
Can't find your niche? BU makes it easy to start a new club. Find 4 friends and a faculty advisor, and you're in business.
