By eHow Education Editor

Rate: (2 Ratings)

Most colleges and universities are brimming with cool activities. Whatever your interests are, you'll find something to do.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

Step1
Visit the student services office. Check out some of the postings for student groups and activities. Consider student government, student newspapers, minority groups and volunteer positions.
Step2
Stop by the athletic department, music department and theater department, where you'll be able to participate in sports clubs, orchestras, choirs, plays and much more.
Step3
Visit the offices of the school of journalism, school of business and school of science. You'll find groups related to different majors where you can learn about the subject and meet new friends. These types of activities look good on résumés, too.
Step4
Ask about group activities in your dorm. They're often organized solely for the purpose of helping people get acquainted.
Step5
Consider joining the Greek community. It's a good way of getting to know people and making a large campus seem smaller.

Tips & Warnings

  • Extracurricular activities can teach you new things, hook you up with new friends and relieve stress.

on 6/30/2006 Joining extracurricular activities will not only give you an outlet to release stress and opportunities to meet new people, it'll also give you a chance to help others as well! Volunteer for humanitarian causes, it's far more fulfilling than any job.

on 11/22/2005 RHA is a great place to start. They plan both fun and informational activities! Ask the On-Campus Housing Office if there is an RHA on your campus.
