Selwyn Alternative Prospectus

Societies
There are a whole range of societies on offer for Selwyn students: subject
societies such as Music, History and Natural Sciences, which host guest
speakers, annual dinners and garden parties and sports societies ranging from
dancesport (ballroom and Latin dancing), to football and rowing. Others include
Jazz, Minecraft, Politics and Cookery.
In addition, the University offers an even larger range of societies, which are all
showcased at the Fresher’s Fair. In every college, you will be able to join both
their societies and those offered by the University, most of which are free to join.
You can create your own society if you don’t find the one you’re after, and can
apply for funding from Selwyn to do this and get all the resources you need!

much time you’re willing to, so University

out!
