Student Life
There are several different student-run societies inside of the Faculty of Science, including the PhysClub, ChemClub, Biology Undergraduate Society, Biochemistry Survival Club, Science and Business Students Association, WatROX, and the overall SciSoc. Due to the wide range of departments in the faculty, the societies are based out of the many different buildings that are part of the Faculty of Science.
The SciSoc's C&D (coffee and donuts) shop is currently run out of Biology 1 building, under "The Link"; the indoor bridge connecting the Biology buildings with the Earth Science Building.
The mascot for the faculty of Science is Arriba the Amoeba. Arriba is typically referred to as "she" in the third person, despite the fact actual amoebas are not gendered. Arriba is both the mascot for the faculty itself and the student-run Science Society (Unlike the Faculty of Math and the Math Society, which have separate mascots.)

Famous quotes containing the words student and/or life:
“Beauty, like all other qualities presented to human experience, is relative; and the definition of it becomes unmeaning and useless in proportion to its abstractness. To define beauty not in the most abstract, but in the most concrete terms possible, not to find a universal formula for it, but the formula which expresses most adequately this or that special manifestation of it, is the aim of the true student of aesthetics.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
“Conventional wisdom notwithstanding, there is no reason either in football or in poetry why the two should not meet in a man’s life if he has the weight and cares about the words.”
—Archibald MacLeish (1892–1982)
