Join a Club or Go to an Event That’s Related to Your Major
In addition to clubs that pertain to your hobbies, some clubs go along with your major! These are great clubs to join because students from Freshman year to graduate school are involved in these clubs. It’s great to get help on a class you are taking or just get some insight on what you need to do in the future. Attending events your department’s events is a great way to learn more outside class and connect with your interested classmates. You may also get to know the students helping to organize the events and get involved with that!
Get a Job
If your class schedules aren’t too hectic, getting a job is a great way to be involved. There are endless options you can partake in with getting a job. You can work at a restaurant school library, or help out in your recreational center (gym). Whether on or off-campus, an appointment can help you connect with the community around your school, and you may find some new friends in your coworkers! Finding these opportunities could be through word of mouth, on your school’s website, or in your town’s local paper!
Volunteer
Volunteering is such a fantastic thing that you can get involved in. There are many different organizations located all around your school’s town! Many schools also have a dance marathon to help raise money for a cause and various runs/walks. Check out different postings around your campus to find out what you can get involved in!
Go to Sports Events
Almost every school has some sort of sports team. Whether it is a football game or dance show, there are many ways to show school spirit! Going to these events can help give you a greater connection to your school’s student body. There are many events – if a football game isn’t one of your interests, that’s okay! Find the event that you would love to be a part of!
Join an Intramural Team
I know when you were younger, you probably tried out a bunch of different sports. Some of them you were good at, and some of them you weren’t. The great thing about intramural sports is that you don’t have to be excellent at the sport. You don’t even have to be good! Everyone is welcome no matter what background you have in the sport. The main goal of intramural sports is to have fun, share in some friendly competition, get a little exercise, and meet new people! Join a team!
The opportunities are endless! Find activities that interest you, and you’ll make the most out of your college experience!
