Clubs and activities are one of the most important aspects of college life. You congregate with people who have similar interests, and take a break from classes. You can meet new friends, and develop deep connections just by having an association. RIT has 205 organizations on campus including sports, clubs, and teams in which you can get involved in. There’s everything from break-dancing to metalworking so it’s easy to find at least one thing you are interested in.
Plus, it’s easy to be a member. At the beginning of the year, RIT has a club fair, where representatives from each club set up a table to inform students about their organizations. You can give them your name and e-mail, and they will send you the meeting dates and any other important info.
Additionally, once involved in a club, you can run for a position. Not only does this look good on your résumé, but it will give you more of a say in any club-related decisions. I have already done this, and look forward to my positions next year.
When I first got here, I was only a member a couple clubs. I wanted to get more involved, but took it easy while I adjusted to my first quarter of college. Eventually I joined a few more clubs and backed out of one of my first clubs. Next year, I probably will explore even more of them.
So get a couple of friends and try a few different clubs! Sometimes you will have more fun if you know people in the club. If you don’t like one, its okay, the leaders won’t be upset. Even if you think there isn’t a perfect club for you, you can always suggest a new one.
