SASTRA University is what Chennai would look like if it were an educational institute: It’s not the most happening place unless you want it to be.
Irrespective of whether you’re inclined toward sports, academics or cultural events, you have to constantly be on the look out for opportunities. The first semester would be the time period in which all these “clubs” would present themselves in the form of orientations and sometimes posters. This allows you to get started.
But after that, it comes down to how willing you are to explore.
