Social Life at UTS (2 Viewers)

[mareeahh2166]

I know this sounds quite silly to ask but is it true that people at UTS don't really have the opportunity to socialise with others much because the uni doesn't really have a campus feel to it?

I've heard from people who go there that they just simply go to UNI and then go home.

I'm thinking about studying at UTS next year. Can you guys recommend me any good society clubs i should join?

Thanks!

they don't promote these clubs.

well I'm part of the photography society, writer's society and students association and barely have time to go to all of their events, but I make the effort to turn up to things that I see as important. So yeah it's definitely possible, plus if you hang out on the couches on the concourse or if you're a humanities student there's the common room/couches in the bon marche (humanities) building where you can also hang - people are constantly passing through so you're sure to meet someone you know from somewhere eventually lol

Haha. The Gamer Club looks awesome compared to usyd and unsw's gamer clubs. Has anyone here been to their lan nighters and know how many people usually turn up?... UTS will probably be my first preference now

i reckon the social life is getting better. at least the loft is getting a good reputation with having its social pix in the brag every week with their club and dance events.

people ask this stupid questions?????

anyways nice thread....good question cause thats the 2nd most important priority 4 me in picking what uni i want to go to...

i am pretty sure....that its not 2 bad...like i go to uts library 2 study everday 4 hsc...and like i see club posts n shiat like that so it cant be that bad....anywayz it maybe my first second choice for my uni selection since its such a awsome location...

dont take this the wrong way but why would you want to stay at uni after class?
i hate that place.

anyway i have this idea about people who hang out at uni all day trying to make friends, to me it seems like they maybe dont have any friends where they come from..

i dunno that probably sounded really rude but i leave as soon as i can, i would much rather go home and hang out with my regular friends than spend an extra hour at uni..

the campus is spread out so there isnt really a focal point however a lot of students go to the bar but thats open to anyone. yeah i go to uni and come straight back havent really made many friends but then again im not really outgoing in joining any clubs or societies

 

[jemsta]

you dont really need to join clubs or societies to make friends. Just attending parties and special events where everyone is having fun is enough to make new friends, even if youre the shy and introverted one.

 

[zeam]

it sucks when you live ages out of the city kinda hard to go to uni parties and shiz..

 

[jemsta]

how far are we talking about here?

 

[zeam]

well i spend an hour along on the train not to mention getting to the station which is another hassle

This sounds quite lame but how do you find out about parties, normaly I would find/ get invites to parties from mates, I dont know anyone in sydney soooo yeah?????? cheers.

 

[jemsta]

theyre usually advertised with posters/flyers on walls so it would be pretty hard to miss it.

That sort of sucks.
I think that uni might be a good place to make like-minded friends who want to do/be similar things. At school (especially if you come from a small one) the people aren't necessarily the most diverse.

Besides, there's nothing wrong with MORE friends

there is a party going on every second week.

'o day's on the 18th, is that good in regards to meeting people and getting familiarised? from the experiences of people who've been to it in the past?
