Extra-curricular activities

What facilities are available for students' leisure time?

Some universities, and likewise individual colleges or halls of residence, have a particularly strong tradition in the performing arts, student media, specific sports or in various other pursuits. The university may have its own theatre or sports centre, as well as catering facilities such as the student bar!

All universities will have clubs and societies devoted to a range of interests, from jazz to mountaineering; the bigger the university, the greater the variety to choose from - Manchester University boasts over 200 such groups.
