There are plenty of opportunities to hear student bands, local groups and established big names. If you like organising events, your college JCR or May Ball committee will welcome you fervently. There are theatre and drama groups to cater for every taste. Several colleges have purpose-built auditoria, the Amateur Dramatic Club has its own theatre, and major productions take place in the Corn Exchange or the Arts Theatre. Journalism and Writing Student papers Varsity and The Cambridge Student , are published by students regularly in term, and there are plenty of other outlets for original writing of all kinds.
Colleges have their own magazines.
Charity Support Considerable energy goes into planning and perpetrating the annual Rag, which raises large sums for local and national charities. Students also volunteer their help to local charities through Student Community Action . Sport Sport is traditionally an important part of undergraduate life. Provision for sport is made by colleges through the College Amalgamated Clubs, by the University Sports Syndicate and by the University sports clubs. Most colleges provide facilities for all the traditional team games, for tennis and rowing, with many also providing indoor facilities for exercise, weight-training, squash and some badminton.
