Extracurriculars
The richness of life at Yale extends far beyond the classroom walls. There are more than 400 active organizations on campus, ranging from the Undergraduate Math Society to the Freestyle Dueling Association and including over 50 performance groups and 60 cultural associations. You will be able to join as many as you like at the Freshman Extracurricular Bazaar – which takes place in late August – but why wait? You can start learning about Yale College’s vibrant extracurricular universe right now. The block of text below is full of clickable links to explore. We feel confident that you will find a few – or perhaps a few dozen – groups and activities that pique your interests. You may also visit the Yale College Dean's Office website for a list of all registered student organizations.
