The value from attending college isn’t just the degree you receive. Arguably, the most value in college comes from the friends you make, network you build, memories you create, and experience you gain.
If you are reading this, you might be someone currently in college or someone who is about to head off to college for the first time. You are curious about joining clubs on campus and what benefit that could have.
In this post, we’ll share 12 benefits of joining clubs and organizations during your university years. I joined a variety of clubs in my 4.5 years and it turned out to be the best decision I made. For me, they provided more value to my life and career than my coursework did.
Because of the clubs I joined, I met my best friends, built a network I still draw from, and developed skills that transferred over into my professional life. If I had chosen to do nothing, I don’t think I would have gotten the internships and full-time offers that set up my career.
