At the University of Bedfordshire, there’s
a huge amount of groups and societies to join. Some of them aren’t even course/
subject area specific. As I’ve mentioned in my last blog post. I travel to
university, so sadly I don’t actually personally attend any society. But,
luckily because I’m studying a computer science related subject there are some
societies that the university hold in which you can attend online. For example
there was a CGI society run a few years ago. You could enter the weekly challenges
on Facebook. Another great example of this is games jam. This may not be a
weekly thing, but every year or so the university hold a games jam. I think we
still hold the Guinness book of records at the university for the biggest games
jam.
Link is above, if you wanted more information. I
know the university is holding another games jam soon. It’s something which
will obviously help your CV, build your technical and your social skills. They
are not compulsory but I personally think they are great fun and another
example of how the university goes the extra mile! Although I think personally
as a student you should try and attend as many things like this as possible. I’ve
currently attended 5 game jams, a few only 12 hours others 48 hours.
