    Will be good to see what's on offer.
    I googled for a definitive list of societies but I couldn't find an up to date one.

    Anybody have any opinions on which are worth joining and have events during the year not just around freshers week? Any advice? Some of them look pretty good.

    I'll be studying science so I don't know maybe there would be something there for me? Some of the sports ones look interesting too like Ninjutsu.

    Yup, we're very interesting :). We have a good few science people too, including me. During the summer we are training on Wednesdays from 6 till 8 (might be cancelled on some weeks if there aren't enough people around). UCD Ninjutsu facebook group

    there are science orientated societies like chemsoc, biosoc, rocsoc, matsoc, medsoc

    i'm involved with sci-fi society who are mainly science students and we are found in the hub so even if ya didn't join but spent your spare time in the hub you'd probably get to know us to some degree

    as always i'd suggest joining L&H and law soc as they do usually get good guests etc

    2 a week is usual. So yes, they're insanely active.

    A mate of mine was in Drama Soc and he was always on the go. Insanely is an understatement.

    Fairly sure the only society more active then dramsoc in terms of events is Lawsoc...

    But most of those you'd never know about...

    Actually, no. Gamesoc have been about as, if not more active than them recently.

    Well tbh I dunno. All I know is Lawsoc organised 90 public events last year. Most of them were just aimed at the law faculty.

    I'd put Gamesoc down as the most active soc on campus. Last year they had an event every day Mon-Fri and some events even on a Saturday. They'd be the most active in terms of scheduled events. Not to mention all the random crap they seemed to have going on at the blob!

    To be fair,some of those didn't run due to lack of turnout.I'd say Sci Fi are reliably the most active with about 6 events running every week

    Saying that, this year we'll try and change that with more than 1 event every day.Not trying to sound too biased here,but if you're into it Gamesoc will always have something to do

    They are quite active - usually a couple of coffee mornings a week, and generally a night out too. They will run quite a few events during Fresher's Week too.

    Is there a History or French society by any chance?

    The secular and humanist society sounds interesting. Do you guys have many events?

    Long gone. Lonnnnnnnnnnng gone.

    Your best bet is to join the FilmSoc as they have a few SLRs or else FashionSoc cause we're planning some photo shoots and also the University Observer would love some photographers...

    I don't know about fashion soc. I have a friend who does loads of fashion shoots and it looks a bit boring to me. The observer would be a laugh though. Catch the pulse security guards abusing students outside the bar and stuff.

    That's too bad. There was some talk about it being revived last year, but I guess it didn't happen.

    Anyone know if Jazzsoc is active enough? It's pretty much the only society I'm interested in.
