<p>Weird question. I'm looking at a college that has some good programs, but it has barely any clubs (which is something I was kind of hoping for). However, there's another college very close by, and it has tons of clubs. I know you can't join a sorority/fraternity if you aren't enrolled in the school the sorority/fraternity is based at, but is it possible to join a club if you aren't enrolled in that school? I know colleges probably aren't keen on random adults joining their clubs, but if it's another student from a different campus, would an exception be made?</p>
<p>The club in mind is a film club by the way. </p>
<p>I’d say it is very unlikely (unless perhaps the schools are in some kind of a consortium together) but the only way you will get a definitive answer is to call the Office of Student Life (or whatever they have that sounds close) at the nearby school and see if students at the school you are considering are eligible/welcome to join their activities.</p>
<p>Student organizations at my school usually have a statement like this in their constitutions, which implies that members are supposed to be current students here.
I’ve been allowed to attend meetings for a club at a different school, but I’m not allowed to have an officer position and their funding probably wouldn’t cover me if they went to an off-campus event. (I was involved in the club when I took dual-enrollment classes at the school, and the professor who supervises it said I could keep coming to meetings.) </p>
<p>Erm yeah, for certain clubs it’s called a satellite member and you pay the dues and get the benefits but just can’t become an officer. This is typically for people that go to a separate community college that doesn’t have the club / has limited resources.</p>
