    College graduates over the world less remember their days seated in a lecture hall or at a desk, than all the times they spent with friends outside of the classroom. Having a social life in college is vitally important to a positive college experience. But it may also be a bellwether of things to come after graduation in a student’s personal and professional life.

    The Benefit of Play

    Balancing the demands of a full course load, extra curricular activities and part-time jobs can become overwhelming to students. Kicking back with friends and taking some quality “me” time is great at reducing stress. Dartmouth College advises its students that “taking time to yourself for relaxation is just as important as giving time to other activities.”

    Social Circles

    Structured social activities help a student develop a sense of community. Whether serving as a member of the soccer team or a volunteering on a Habitat for Humanity project, students gain much from connecting to something bigger than themselves. They learn about teamwork and selflessness but may also discover leadership qualities they didn’t even know they possessed.

    Exposure to Diversity

    An active social life gives students the opportunity to reach out to those beyond their typical social circle. Developing relationships with people of different cultures teaches students to be less judgmental and exposes them to a wider world.

    Self-confidence

    The college years afford students a great opportunity to put themselves in a variety of social situations. As they approach the boarders of their own comfort levels, they have the chance to hone their skills of communication, build self-confidence and learn resilience. College professors Lynn Jacobs and Jeremy Hyman advise students to turn off the voice that tells them they're not good enough and to practice their skills of communication on a smaller scale, at first. Voicing an opinion and speaking in front of small groups is good practice for larger groups and bigger debates.
