Can I have a social life or be involved in extracurricular activities and still be in the magnet program?
A social life and involvement in extracurriculars are very common themes among magnet students, and it is not always hard to do both. The key is balancing your difficult classes and your other activities. Therefore if you wish to have a social life and participate in extracurriculars (as many magnet students do), it is best to regulate the time that you spend. Also ask other students about how much time activities really take so that you can make intelligent decisions. Finally, while we all might like to do everything, be realistic about how many activities you should try at one time, keeping in mind the academic requirements of this program.
