The weirdest, wackiest and most wonderful societies have been showcased at De Montfort University's Societies Fair.
This year's freshers' will have the chance to join clubs like the Harry Potter Society, who hold regular Quiditch matches; the Ultimate Frisbee team, who take the park game to the next level; or the Tea Drinkers, for anyone who just likes a brew .
Liam Hackett, 19, Head of the Gryffindor House in the Harry Potter Society, said: "Our aim is to bring together all of the Harry Potter fans at DMU.
"It's so important, as it allows people who perhaps aren't into sport to mix with people they already have something in common with.
"We have a sorting ceremony where we sort people into the houses. We even play Quidditch."
With 96 different societies on offer it's impossible not to find one that catches your eye.
If you're looking for something a little more physical there are 32 different sports societies to pick from, along with a few more unusual ways to work up a sweat.
Jaya Varsani, 21, Chair of the Bollywood Dance society, said: "It helps give us a chance to see our friends, keep fit and have a laugh learning something new.
"We do go on nights out, but we also do a lot of charity work.
"You don't even have to perform, it's more about learning together and socialising"
It's not all Bollywood dancing and Harry Potter though, with a lot of societies looking out for students wellbeing.
Lots of the societies teach new skills and offer students a chance to get involved in something new, like the Harajuku Society - for those who share an interest in Japanese street style.
Amy LeStrange, 26, who belongs to the society, said: "We offer trips to Harajuku conventions and run tutorials, to help beginners learn more about how to modify some of their own clothes into the Japenese style".
For those looking to try something a little more extreme, why not have a go at Skydiving.
Rachel Yates, 30, an education student said: "Since my first skydive I haven't been able to stop.
"I love it and after noticing that other universities had skydiving societies I helped set one up here.
"The adrenaline rush of the jump is amazing."
Adam Redfern, 21, Vice-President for Media and Communications at DSU, thinks societies are vital for meeting people at university.
He said: "There's a misconception that the union is just a night club, it's not.
"It's all about the student experience and the opportunity to make friends.
"Joining in is a great way to make friends and we encourage people to get involved.
"If someone comes along with an interest and wants to open a society, we give them the platform to do that."
