Want to get the best out of your college life
0:02
Here are some experiences you won't want to miss. Hello everyone and welcome to Global Scholarships
0:09
your go-to channel for all things related to studying abroad. College is a period of growth and change
0:15
a formative phase where you determine who you want to become as a person and a professional
0:21
This is why it is quite important to strike a balance between academics and extracurricular activities
0:28
We at Global Scholarships have made for you a checklist of activities and experiences
0:33
that may just help you have a balanced and enjoyable college life
0:37
In this video, we'll be sharing with you some of them. New friends can introduce you to new experiences
0:49
learnings, cultures, and hobbies. If you are studying abroad or in a location that is far from home
0:56
friends can help make your transition to college life much easier. The new faces may seem intimidating
1:03
but you can use mutual interests and other common grounds to introduce yourself to new people
1:09
Since you are all pretty much in the same stage in your lives, these new connections may just turn into lifetime friendships
1:18
Second is joining clubs and organizations. There are several clubs and organizations
1:23
that will not just help in expanding your circle, but also have a strong impact on your CV
1:29
In college, there is always something for everyone. Academic clubs, sports clubs, art clubs, and the like
1:38
Being in a club will allow you to be part of a community and participate in activities that you're interested in
1:45
Third is living in a dorm or off-campus housing. There are several benefits of living in a dorm
1:51
such as proximity to classes, meal plans, access to amenities, and lots of chances to socialize and bond with your roommates
2:00
On the other hand, the pros of off-campus living is that you have more privacy and personal space
2:07
Whichever you choose, living in a dorm or off-campus housing will help you develop a sense of independence and responsibility
2:16
Number four is participating in internships, research, and study abroad programs. Many universities carry out programs that allow students
2:27
to apply what they have learned in class lectures. These are opportunities that refine your skills
2:33
and prepare you for life after graduation. Taking part in research, internships, and study abroad programs
2:40
will not only allow you to explore the world, but also provide additional strong points in your resume
2:46
And fifth is managing finances and budgeting. Mismanaging your college budget can lead to serious financial problems in the future
2:55
Effectively planning and tracking your expenses is a great way to ensure that your college budget covers everything you need
3:03
In addition, budgeting is a skill that will be useful not only in college
3:08
but also in your adulting life. Another great way to lower your academic and living expenses
3:14
is to apply for scholarships. You can find numerous scholarship opportunities on our website, globalscholarships.com
