Socials

Our Semester 2, 2026 socials offer safe, inclusive, and welcoming opportunities for students to connect, build friendships, and feel supported throughout their university journey.

With 30+ events across ECU campuses, from relaxed meetups and walks to games nights and online sessions, there's a welcoming space for everyone to unwind and take a break from study.

Come along, meet new people, and enjoy a free drink or snack. Some sessions also feature guest staff and support teams like Careers, Counselling and Psychological Support, and the ECU Student Guild, so check individual event listings below for details.

All socials are free and open to every ECU student.
