Contacts for excursions and activities during the semester
International Tutors
The International Tutors of the Student Services Association organise a broad range of leisure, cultural and sporting activities.
Student societies
Even though it's prohibited to arrange any real word gatherings for the time being, it's worth contacting some of the student societies. Start making plans for the time after the lockdown, and maybe meet at least virtually with like-minded people.
