What is the secret to managing college life academically and socially?
Some families are concerned that their student’s involvement in non-academic activities will result in lower grades, while others worry because their student may not do anything but go to class. As a general rule, becoming involved in campus activities tends to improve a student’s experiences at MSUM. Not only will it provide opportunities to meet people with similar interests, it will also help students take what they have learned in the classroom and apply it to real world situations. Students who are active in campus life develop time management, communication, leadership, and organizational skills that will help them in a wide variety of experiences throughout their lives. While some students become over-involved, a healthy balance of study and co-curricular activity can add a dimension to the University experience that has rewards now and in the students’ future careers.
