FAQ
Do I need to be an international student to join events/membership?
Not at all! We're open to all students at UEA who are interested in enjoying a multicultural experience and learning about different cultures. Both international and home students are welcome to join our society and participate in our events and activities.
Where can I find the society's events?
You can find the events on this Student Union website and on our Instagram page. We also send emails to our members with information about upcoming events and activities.
How often do you do events?
We aim to hold one event and one social each month. These events and socials can range in size and theme, with events being larger and themed for the month (such as Valentine's Day speed dating or a Halloween party) and socials being smaller and more relaxed (such as a chat over tea or a movie night). However, the number and frequency of events and socials may vary depending on various factors.
