Being a student at Sydney isn't just about study. Becoming involved in non-academic activities at the University helps you to develop a network of friends and broaden your outlook and skills. All campuses have their own services and facilities, including cafés, social and recreational venues, student organizations and a rich social and sporting life. Prayer facilities for all faiths are available on campus, and on the social side, the University offers a 'UniMates' program that helps you settle in and meet people. Student organizations are an important part of university life. The University of Sydney Union (USU) is the oldest and largest student organization in Australia. The Union arranges a wide variety of entertainment everything from live music to Arts festivals and coordinates major student events like Orientation Week. The University's registered clubs and societies cover a wide range of interests from archery to sailboarding, from sushi to Scottish country dancing, from meditation to politics.
