Culture societies are a great way to immerse yourself into a culture and/or language whilst being able to socialise with others. The great thing about cultural societies is that anyone from any background can join. You can find more cultural societies here, though this is not a complete list: UNSW Cultural Societies.

There’s still a ton of other societies at UNSW for different hobbies, demographics and interests. You can check out the rest of them here: https://www.arc.unsw.edu.au/get-involved.
