Student clubs play an important role in the student experience. Most campus activities are organized
by student clubs and the Student Association (student government). Explore clubs and activities that match your particular interests.

“A friend who just entered the Class of 2018 recently shared with me that upon letting a few mentors know about her acceptance, one of them called her immediately and said — I have only one piece of advice for you: live on campus. My thoughts on this advice? Absolutely true.”

5 Reasons to Join a Club at HBS
When students arrive on campus for the first time, the suspense of meeting Section
mates, preparing for potential cold calls, and understanding campus food options can
feel overwhelming. Having the option to join a club that mirrors any facet of who
you are helps greatly in the transition to life as an MBA student over the next two
years. Having people to lean on during challenging times is what forges lifelong
friendships and is one of the things that makes HBS such a vibrant community. While
each club on campus builds its own micro-community, there are over ten affinity clubs
that create fellowship among those with similar life experiences.
