Thursday’s Club fair was more damaging than useful.
I was one of the earlier people to get to the gym where it was held but, the court quickly got very crowded. Most of the booths and clubs were prepared so in that sense the fair was a success. I spent some time in a variety of clubs and some were very tempting. All the clubs’ representatives were eager to tell me about why I HAD to join the club they were a part of. The Apple club was one such example; it drew me in because the presenter sounded very informed but in the end, I decided not to join because I do not have a Mac.
This was the main problem I had with the fair: it barraged me with so many different clubs that I didn’t really get to pick and choose the ones I was genuinely interested in. I left the fair having signed up for Financial and Economics Society (FECS), AESICS, Marketing Club, and Biomed Society. I still don’t know which of these I plan to actually commit to. I was moderately interested in economics during high school and I have always wanted to go abroad during college so I think I might give FECS and AESICS a second look. The other two, maybe not so much. Ultimately, I have to say that the club fair had little effect on me as I would probably have sought out the clubs I was interested in by myself anyways.
