International Student Experience

Getting involved in sports and societies provides a great opportunity to meet new friends with similar interests, to keep fit or represent the university in competitions. There are many sports clubs and societies at Caledonian which are all organised and run by student volunteers. If students have a particular interest which is not catered by the existing clubs and societies, they are welcome to start their own with assistance and support from the Students' Association. Many International Students join the International Student Society when first arriving at the university. The society organises many social events and outings during the year and is an ideal way to meet and mix with other international students.
