Hi Michaela,


There are many ways to be involved while in college. I personally joined a fraternity my second year, was part of a volunteering organization, and worked in several research laboratories. Many universities have people flyering and bulletin boards with activities. Look out for them and see what you like and go for it!

Hi Michaela,

Getting involved on your campus might be easier than it seems. If you live on campus, you have plenty of things you can involve yourself in, which may be clubs, intermural sports, participate in student government, get a job (tutor, etc.). I was involved in clubs, had jobs on campus when I lived on campus. You can either find these opportunities on the university/college/school website or through the school email.

Simeon’s Answer

There are usually campus living staff on college campus that help organize residential life and events. While they don't usually run on-campus organizations, they are very connected with student leadership and be able to point you in the direction of organizations that you'd be a good fit for. Also, if you're able to be on campus, keep an eye out for messenger boards and flyers.

I would keep an eye out for bulletin boards and flyers on campus. Even a simple walk on campus can help you discover new opportunities that you did not see before. Also don't be afraid to make new connections in your classes, you never know what student groups they might be in.

Hi Michaela B. I see that you posted this question a little while ago so I hope my answer to you (or others who may read this response) is still helpful.

In general, I think you will find that it isn't very hard to get involved in campus activities. The volume of student groups will vary from school to school but the energy with which these student groups reach out to students, particularly first and second year students, is pretty high. Faculty, staff and student bodies look forward to bringing in new minds and ways of thinking and one of the ways of encouraging new students to stay and contribute to the school culture is through student groups.

As far as "the best way" here are three ways that I can think of 1)pay attention to flyers and on-campus advertisements during the first 14-30 days of school. 2)Look at what is posted in popular areas of campus like cafeterias and libraries. 3)When you feel comfortable, talk to other students and/or faculty about interesting groups that exist on campus or groups that are small and need a boost of energy :).

Best of luck to you!
