Registered Student Organizations
All work and no play can make anyone a dull student... so make sure to play! Student organizations provide the perfect opportunity to meet new people, learn new skills, unwind and have fun. Getting involved with a student organization is a great way to enhance your experience at The University of Chicago.
With hundreds of student organizations, there is something for everyone:
- Sports clubs give you the opportunity to play your favorite sport even if there's no intramural team.
- Interested in martial arts? There is an organization for nearly every discipline.
- Join an ethnic or cultural club and learn more about your heritage.
- Like to dance or don't know how? There are many dance clubs.
- Outreach groups can help you find a place to volunteer.
- Find others to worship with among the many religious organizations.
- Chinese calligraphy, paintball, Frisbee, backgammon? Yup, there's a club for each of those.
- Basically, there's almost every type of group!
Student organizations aren't just for undergraduates, they're for graduate students too!
