Guide to All BU Tryouts

After that incredibly long break that was summer, Boston University students are back on campus to begin an amazing school year. It seems like that first week of classes flew by!

With the beginning of the school year comes getting used to roommates again, keeping those pounds off, writing essays, and of course, keeping up with the mad rush to join clubs. It can be stressful, especially for freshmen, to keep track of meetings and tryouts on top of making sure you finish the pile of work on your to-do list.

To help those who want to become more involved in a club (but don’t know where to start), Her Campus BU has come up with a simplified list of tryout dates ranging from dance groups to comedy troupes.

For more information on specific groups, head to the links provided or contact the clubs individually.
