College Clubs and Organizations

One of the many things that I love about attending a big university is there’s always some way to get involved on campus. Many universities offer a number of club and organizations for their students to get involved with that range from sports clubs, to theatre clubs, to academic clubs, and so on. Most universities have clubs that cover just about any interest you can think of. 

Getting involved in a club on campus is probably one of the best things that a college student can do. And here are the reasons why:

#1. You get to meet people and make friends! If you’re a freshman or transfer student, getting involved in a club is a fast and easy way to make friends. There’s also nothing wrong with joining a club your senior year! When you join a club, the chances of making new friends are inevitable.

#2. You’ll feel like you belong somewhere. And who doesn’t want that? It’s nice to feel like your part of a group.

#3. It looks good on a transcript/resume. Some clubs or organizations are prestigious enough to go on a resume or transcript, which is always a plus.

#4. You might get to travel! Many clubs, especially sports clubs, travel around the state and sometimes the country.

#5. You get to help others. Some clubs/organizations focus on doing volunteer work. Helping others is a great way to spend your time.

#6. You get to develop or continue a skill/interest/hobby. Clubs usually let anybody join no matter their talent or skill level, which means you're free to give a few different clubs a try!

Now, joining a club or organization may seem a bit daunting. Like, where do you start? Easy. Most colleges have information about their clubs and organizations on their website. You can usually find information about them under the student life category. The club info page should list all the information you need to know about joining the club. 

So, if you're looking for a way to make some new friends or develop a skill/interest/hobby, go join a club. You won't regret it!
