Looking for that
“little extra something”?
We are all looking for that little extra something. Something that gives our lives meaning and makes studying for exams at Carolina Rediviva (commonly known as “Carro”) feel less hopelessly long and boring when we know that we will soon be able to focus our minds on something completely different.
The possibilities are endless, and YOU are guaranteed to find a place at a nation, student union, or student association where you fit in best.
New friends and
an improved resume
By getting involved in a nation, student union, or association, you will meet people you never thought would become your closest friends. Most commitments also look good on your resume.
There is something for everyone, whatever you want to do!
