Clubs are continuous, just jump in! It can be a bit difficult being the new person, but people are pretty accepting, you don't have to hide behind a flock of other newcomers,

Jump in. Ask around for friends in clubs you are interested and you can ask to join the mailing list so you are updated. There is another "clubfest" during winter but that's usually alot smaller

I think you can join most clubs any time of the year!

There's never a term that's too busy. Honestly, you're all too likely to continue making that excuse. I've heard that excuse a billion times from peers... It's lame, and gets you no where.

I know people commuting from Pickering, and running a provincial competition for McMaster. I know people living in the states, and planning a national conference. I know people overloading with 7 eng courses, who managed to play intramural sports on weekends. I won't get into the laundry list of things myself and my fellow Eng leaders have done for the community this year, while struggling through 5-6 courses...

These are all Engineering examples... I guess if you whole heartedly believe these people have to work less than you, perhaps you have a valid point for being too busy. But somehow I doubt it (overloading, and working a full-time co-op in another country make them pretty busy people)...

Key point to take away: Don't let the "I don't have time" excuse get used past tomorrow. It tends to stick with most people for their entire time here, and then at the end of their 4-7 years, they regret it.

Most clubs don't mind people that just join in halfway through!

Making Waves Hamilton is starting up again next term, so if you're interested in volunteering to teach swimming lessons for those with disabilities, it's a great club to join especially because it's only one hour of your week!

I'm curious as to whether the OP has (since these messages), found a club and went to a meeting of some sort.
