The WHAT Society?! – Amelia G
When I was signing up for uni open days I came across a few unusual societies so I thought I’d give you my ranking of the 8 weirdest ones. You never know, these could be enough to persuade you towards a certain uni, especially if you are an avid Nicholas Cage fan.
- Nicholas Cage appreciation Society (Sussex and Lincoln) – I’m not too sure what to say about this one… but it is impressive (scary) that his influence seems to be spreading. Pedro seems ok with it though…
2. Extreme Ironing Society (Nottingham) – ‘E.I’ is classified as an extreme sport and I discovered that there is even an Extreme Ironing Bureau so if you want to live life on the edge while doing your housework, give the EIB a call
3. Zombie Apocalypse Survival Society (Manchester) – I like it, very practical
4. Stitch and Bitch Society (Leeds) – just my kind of society
5. Hummus Society (LSE) – they have tasting evenings that you can dip into with over 40 types of hummus
6. Jailbreak society (Warwick) – they are involved in an annual jailbreak event where competitors have 36 hours to get as far away from the uni (jail) as possible without spending any money. Some have got as far as Sydney, San Diego, New York and Poland
7. 20 Minute Society (Newcastle) – a weekly text is sent out at an unexpected time with a random location. Members have to get there within 20 minutes for a mystery activity. Kind of like extreme BeReal
8. Tunnock’s Caramel Wafer Appreciation Society (St. Andrews) – a slightly less creepy appreciation society than the Nicholas Cage one.
If any of these take your fancy but you’re not quite ready for uni yet, why not set one up at school? I’m not sure how much the Nicholas Cage one will be appreciated but it’s worth a try!
