Hi, I’m interested in joining both a sport and a drama society (come on Troy Bolton!) but I’m worried about the workload. I know it’s subjective, but how many societies (on average) could one join without it being seriously detrimental to their studies in your opinion?
Hi, I think the answer is that you can try it out? Being behind on work in the first term never ruined anyone so you can take up several (maybe 3?) societies and then drop them based on how you're doing. Our tutor used to tell us 1 society and 1 sport but you can't really generalise as the time requirements vary wildly. You can also ask ppl at the fair how much of their time it eats up.
