As the new academic year approaches, The Guardian is calling on students and recent graduates (within the last five years) to share their most memorable experiences—both positive and negative—of university clubs and societies. Your insights could prove invaluable for incoming freshers looking to navigate the social landscape of higher education.
What We Want to Know
We are interested in hearing about the highs and lows of participating in university societies. What was your best experience? Did you find a community that felt like home, learn a new skill, or create lasting friendships? Conversely, what was your worst experience? Perhaps you encountered cliques, poor leadership, or a toxic environment.
How to Share Your Story
You can share your experiences using our secure online form. Participation is open to anyone aged 18 or over, and you may contribute anonymously if you prefer. Your responses will be encrypted and only accessible to The Guardian for the purpose of this feature. We will delete any personal data once it is no longer needed. For alternative secure methods, please refer to our tips guide.
If you encounter any issues with the form, please click here for assistance. Your contributions may help shape a feature that guides new students in making informed choices about their extracurricular involvement.
