UQ0067

Are clubs and circles the best way to meet similar people?

Clubs and circles are one effective way to meet people who share your interests because you can see them regularly through a common activity. However, they are not necessarily the best option for everyone. Classes, seminars, campus events, part-time jobs, and volunteer activities can also help you meet compatible people. Try several settings that interest you and gradually look for people you can talk with comfortably.

Key points

  • Shared activities make it easier to start conversations.
  • Attend an observation session or trial activity to check the atmosphere and time commitment.
  • Try several opportunities for interaction rather than limiting yourself to one group.

Things to check

  • The atmosphere and participation demands vary by group, so it is important to consider whether a group suits you.
