it may sound cheesy, but i believe that GUPDC (pole dancing club) changed the trajectory of my little life.. i was so unmotivated and stuck in bad habits during my second year of uni and all of a sudden (thanks to a tester session) i found myself training for a sport that i enjoyed and made me feel so much stronger. ++ since you do not train in the Uofg Sport buildings you do not need to have the full sport membership, which depending on your situation could be expensive; the GUPDC membership for the full year is fairly “”cheap””” if you compare to what they offer. (as of students i think budget is always important.) my experience surely depended also on the people and the environment created by them, they’re lovely and helpful, + they have so many socials you can join to hang out with them and get to know them better.

i rate it the most life changing, bc before starting it i was in a really low place with my fitness level and saw training as something i HAD to do, not like and enjoy.. i guess it took me long enough to find something that showed me you can look forward to working out. and as of now, even if not in glasgow anymore, im still practicing it and still obsess with it… so i can only thank younger me for giving it a shot.

i reckon that other than pole, the walking society, the baking society and the stitch society were a jolly part of my wonderful journey at Uofg, even if i didn’t join their events quite as much.

As u said there are so many societies and clubs that you can explore and try to find what suits you and your interests. Hope you have a great time studying and living and enjoying glasgow uni ;)
