\"\"<\/a>Hi! I\u2019m Katie, and I\u2019m a first year student on BA Business Management. Today I\u2019d like to tell you all about my favourite society that I\u2019ve joined since I started university, which is ManSoc.<\/p>\n

What is ManSoc?<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

ManSoc stands for Management Society. The main purpose of the Management Society is to ensure you have the ultimate experience at the Management School. The society is run by students for the benefit of students, and is open to all Management School students regardless of year of study.<\/p>\n

Socials<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

A big part of ManSoc are the socials. Being a member of ManSoc means you get discount cards for many local bars and places to eat, which is a very handy thing to have when you\u2019re on a student budget. We hold many bar crawls along West Street, which is the best street for a student night in Sheffield. Even if you don\u2019t drink, these socials are such a great way to meet people and socialise!<\/p>\n

Another highlight is the end of year ball, which is always amazing. This is a great chance to celebrate the end of the year with all your new friends you\u2019ve made. This year\u2019s ball was \u2018Casino Royale\u2019 themed, which gave us all a chance to dress up and have some fun.<\/p>\n

Trips<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

ManSoc is famous for its trips away, and in the past we have been to places \"\"<\/a>like Berlin, Prague and Budapest. The trips are always very popular and are heavily subsidised, meaning it\u2019s good for a student budget! This year the trip to Budapest was \u00a3259 for flights and accommodation and the payments are timed with when your student loan comes so it shouldn\u2019t hurt your bank account too much.<\/p>\n

They also organise trips within the UK, which are always loads of fun – last year ManSoc joined Invasion and visited Nottingham for a night, which has gone down in history as the social of the year!<\/p>\n

Sports<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

As well as social events and trips away, ManSoc has its own football, hockey and netball teams. I\u2019m part of the ManSoc netball team, and through this I\u2019ve made a lot of good friends. These teams are all mixed with students from all years of study.<\/p>\n

The teams all play within the intermural league, which is the league within the University where all the teams play different departments. It\u2019s a really good opportunity to make more friends with Management School students and play competitively or just do some exercise. You can also put it on your CV, which is a bonus! Each sport has several teams of different abilities, so whether you play to a high ability or have never played before you are welcome to join.<\/p>\n

So why join?<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

ManSoc helped me to get involved with university life by making lots of friends on my course and getting involved with sports teams. It also gives you the chance to make friends with people on the same course as you, but in a different year \u2013 which is especially good in first year, as they can give you great advice!<\/p>\n

Finally, it\u2019s a great extracurricular thing to get involved with alongside your studies. Obviously the biggest part of coming to University is your course, but a lot of University life is also about the clubs and societies you get involved in.<\/p>\n

If this society isn\u2019t for you there are hundreds of others you can join, so you\u2019ll definitely find something that you enjoy! There are academic ones such as Women in Business, Economics Society and Investment Society. But then there are many others such as Belly Dance Society, Poetry Society, and Chess Society. My advice would be to get involved!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
