Find people like you<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>One of the good things about being at university is that you have many opportunities to try new activities or to reconnect with interests that had fallen by the wayside. The student clubs are places where students can <strong>enjoy these interests and activities together<\/strong>. Finding that you have something in common with other people is one of the best ways of forming stronger bonds. The image below shows all the clubs and activities that exist at the moment, but if there\u2019s nothing that quite fits with your interest, that\u2019s not a problem: try setting up your own club by contacting <a href=\"mailto:campuslife@uchceu.es\"><strong>campuslife@uchceu.es<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0or by organizing an activity on the Campus Life platform on the intranet.\u00a0The point is to <strong>get involved in something you\u2019re interested in.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Do you like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uchceu.es\/vida-en-el-campus\/deportes\"><strong>sport<\/strong><\/a>?

Spend the day with other students<\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n<p>\u201cHappiness is only real when shared\u201d: this idea \u2013 written in a book by the protagonist of the film <em>Into the Wild<\/em>\u2013 has a lot of truth to it. Interacting with other people is vital to your wellbeing, so even if you don\u2019t know many people yet, this is no reason to choose solitude. Campus Life organizes a range of activities where you can <strong>meet and interact with other students<\/strong>. During the Welcome Week, many of you will have taken part in the Tapas Tour around Valencia (see the photo above), for example, or the barbeque for the first meeting of the participants in the Student Mentoring Programme (see the photo below). Information about these activities are published in the Campus life area of the intranet.<\/p>\n<p>As well as the activities organized directly by Campus Life, activities on the Campus Life platform can also be created by and for students. So, for example, if you look at the in the \u201cEn tu ciudad\u201d section, you might see some information about a live concert in a bar in the Carmen area of the city centre. If you fancy going to it with other students, you can be the one to arrange it, by clicking on the<strong>\u201corganiza t\u00fa el plan\u201d <\/strong>(\u201corganize a get-together\u201d) button.\u00a0It\u2019s a very easy way to meet other students from your campus who are interested in the same things you are.
