Trinity College clubs and societies
Trinity is a very sociable and vibrant environment. You will meet and make friends with students from Ireland and from all over the world. A great way to get to know people is by joining one of the 100 student societies which cover everything from the Afro-Caribbean Society to the Zoological Society. The societies meet regularly and provide an excellent opportunity to meet other students with similar interests. Among the societies are the Philosophical Society (the "Phil"), dating from 1684 and the Historical Society (the "Hist") dating from 1770.
During Freshers' Week at the start of the academic year all the student societies set up their stands on campus in Front Square, encouraging new members to join. Even if you miss that week you can turn up at any student society meeting and be sure of a warm welcome. Full details of all the societies can be found on the Central Societies Committee website.
