Both the sports teams I am on, I had never played before university. I got the opportunity to experiment with the sports, and even if I do not play in the leagues, I have gotten to meet new people as well as pick up new sports (as well as obviously attending the sports nights at Cameo).<\/p>\n<p>There are also a lot of societies, and I mean A LOT. From a Taylor Swift Society to Boat Club there are a lot available to join.
