For all of the kids who have been in various clubs throughout high school, BU offers an endless\u00a0list of on-campus clubs and organizations. I remember walking through dozens of tables and\u00a0enthusiastic student representatives at my first SPLASH. I must have signed up for at least ten\u00a0newsletters that day. However, I have compiled a selection of my favorite clubs that I am a part\u00a0of; hopefully, some of these appeal to you and convince you to explore this school\u2019s bountiful\u00a0supply of clubs.<\/p>\n
Stage Troupe<\/strong> Boston University International Affairs Association (BUIAA)<\/strong> COM Student Government (COM StuGov)<\/strong> My experiences with BU clubs have been overwhelmingly positive. While these are my top\u00a0choices, there are so many other clubs I probably missed. Be sure to attend SPLASH, contact\u00a0clubs if you wish to join, and follow their social media. You may just find your next mini-home\u00a0within this vast campus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What Clubs to Join, From Someone Who Loves Clubs For all of the kids who have been in various clubs throughout high school, BU offers an endless\u00a0list of on-campus clubs and organizations.

\nIf you were a former theatre kid pre-college times, Stage Troupe may be the perfect fit for you. I\u00a0was stage manager in high school, and I was afraid I would be too busy with my classes and\u00a0work to do theatre in college. However, Stage Troupe, the oldest and largest extracurricular\u00a0performing arts group at BU, allows us flexibility in our schedules. I never have to worry about
\nmissing important commitments for a rehearsal\u2014as long as I communicate beforehand. During\u00a0my time at Stage Troupe, I help in the paint department which has a lower time commitment than\u00a0other departments. Still, I have been able to find friendship and support in this tight-knit\u00a0community. Consider joining Stage Troupe or a similar extracurricular theatre group if you still\u00a0crave acting or tech-ing as a hobby.<\/p>\n
\nI was a major Model United Nations nerd in high school, starting with the General Assembly and\u00a0transitioning into the Department of Public Affairs. I didn\u2019t want to seriously compete on the\u00a0Model UN team in university, but I was interested to see if I could still be involved in the\u00a0process. Luckily for me, BUIAA is one of the largest and most varied organizations on BU’s\u00a0campus, branching out into different sub-organizations. For example, I am a part of the layout
\nteam for the International Relations Review, a student-produced journal of policy-oriented\u00a0analysis. This spring, I also served as Assistant Crisis Director at BosMUN, the high school\u00a0conference. Although it is one of my bigger time commitments during the peak season, I gladly\u00a0make time to work with my friendly members and organization e-board.<\/p>\n
\nAnd, of course, COM Student Government is an essential part of the COM community (the\u00a0COMmunity, if you will). I recently accepted the position of Graphic Designer for COMStuGov.\u00a0The e-board has been nothing but welcome and helpful, and it is heartwarming to see fellow\u00a0COM students excel within and outside the organization. I hope to help advertise the club\u2019s\u00a0events, and meet more COM students. COMStuGov is the perfect way to dive into COM and
\nmake COM connections.<\/p>\n
