The spirit of College/University life is the crews on the campus–the clubs that turn into a surrogate family for an understudy, helping him/her develop and investigate dormant gifts in fields other than scholastics.

Manipal University has a solid custom of understudy bodies and clubs that pull in understudies from all controls, cutting crosswise over schools, courses and nationalities. It is one of the elements that permeate Manipal with a particular appeal, a special preferred standpoint over other college grounds.

There are specialized clubs for the scholastically disposed; there are social clubs that give an understudy the chance to fiddle with the expressive arts, music, move, theatre–everything that encourages the brain and soul.
