“ Throughout my time in secondary school , I was always involved in extra-curricular activities , and I knew that I wanted to keep this up when I started at QMU .
“ I was so pleased to see the wide variety of clubs QMU had to offer , for a range of different interests . I had been dancing since I was young , so I chose to join the Dance Society , where I have had the chance to attend weekly classes , fun socials and join the competitive team who compete across the UK .
“ Joining ‘ Dance ’ improved my confidence massively , which led to me having the confidence to take on several committee roles , and eventually become President of the society . Being in charge of one of the biggest societies on campus undoubtedly has its challenges but I wouldn ’ t change it for the world .
“ I have made friends for life , continued my favourite hobby and learned so many transferrable skills relevant to my degree . Having the opportunity to be part of a society has , without a doubt , been the highlight of my university experience .”
