    \r\n \t
  1. Research: <\/strong>Try browsing the Ulife<\/a> database for all U of T recognized clubs. Search with keywords and use categories to narrow your search down. Some clubs have contact info and links to websites to get in touch with them. UTSU<\/a> also has a list of clubs on their website to browse through. And individual colleges in Arts and Science also have their own recognized clubs. To say there's a lot of clubs at U of T is an understatement, but I find that making a list is quite helpful.<\/li>\r\n \t
  2. Go to fairs and events: <\/strong>The annual UTSU clubs carnival is on Sept 5. and the street festival is on Sept 12.<\/a> I like going to these events to see what clubs are out there and talk to current members, and also grab some free stuff!<\/li>\r\n \t
  3. Visit clubs in person:<\/strong> Clubs are hosting events all the time and they usually have their own spaces and offices across campus, such as in 21 sussex clubhouse.<\/a> It's nice to say hi to current members and ask them about their experiences.<\/li>\r\n \t
  4. Start your own club: <\/strong>If you can't find exactly what you're looking for, why not create your own? There's a whole process for getting group recognition, but I'll save this for another blog.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\nCheck out the #AMAUofT video<\/a> with Joanne and Kana from Clubs and Leadership for some helpful tips.\r\n\r\nAlso check out fellow bloggers' clubs experiences, like Simrit\u2019s experience<\/a> with the hart house debate club, her experience navigating extra curriculars<\/a> , Zo\u00eb's experience<\/a> with the astronomy society, and Rachel's experience<\/a> with Jewish clubs on campus.\r\n\r\nWhat clubs are you interested in joining this year?","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
