I'm seriously considering Queens College and I want to get involved the moment I get there. If any current students or alumni are around, could you tell me what the most famous or popular club is there and why?
Sure thing! Queens College is home to a diverse collection of student clubs and organizations. Given the broad interests of the student body, the popularity of clubs there can differ depending on each student's interests.
However, Student Association tends to be synonymous with community on campus, and it's might be considered the most "popular" because it encapsulates a lot of different interests and connects many branches of student life. They're involved with organizing events, representing the student body, and even distributing funds to other student organizations.
The Mock Trial club is also famously active at Queens College. They compete in tournaments at regional and even national levels, contributing to QC's reputation. Joining Mock Trial can be particularly rewarding if you're interested in law, debate, or public speaking.
Lastly, QC's Hillel Club, an organization for Jewish students, is quite renowned and could also be considered one of the most noteworthy clubs on campus. They're known for their active dedication to Jewish traditional, cultural, and holiday events.
Please keep in mind this is not an exhaustive list and while these organizations are well-known, there are over 100 clubs and organizations at Queens College that serve a variety of interests and needs. Check out the clubs page on Queens College's website for a full list of current student organizations to find something that matches your interests.
