<p>Hello,
I am an international student planning to apply for transfer to US. I have a few queries regarding the activities that are available for students. For example, here in my country we have lots of fests, conferences, simulations, and stuff happening and a student would get loads of opportunities to take part or be in the organising team. I am interested in business, so I generally am very active in organising these things. My question is, do these things happen in colleges in US? To put it more specifically, what is the scope for being in organising committees in colleges? </p>
<p>p.s: I am sorry if I were vague, but since I have no idea about the student life in the US, my query cannot be more specific than this.</p>
<p>I know at my school, there’s lots of opportunities to do pretty much whatever you want. There are intramural sports teams, whose seasons and tournaments get coordinated. There’s a special coordinating committee for the pre-frosh visitation day. There’s clubs such as debate, mock trial, model UN, where you can have leadership positions (usually not your freshman year, though), where you’ll be responsible for organising tournaments, getting teams prepared, etc. There’s clubs such as the Young Republicans, the Janus Forum, and the EPA chapter which you can join to help organize protests, discussions, speakers, etc. There’s all the ethnic student associations (i.e. Korean Students Association) that organize trips and get-togethers and such.</p>
<p>At most US universities, provided you’re living on campus, the focus isn’t solely on getting you a degree by making you take so many classes: a key part of student life is the clubs and groups you join, the people you hang out with, the parties you go to, the sporting events you watch. So if you get involved, you should have plenty of opportunity to do whatever you want.</p>
<p>Thank you 
I am definitely planning to get involved. I merely wanted to get some information about the organizing side of things. Thats all. Thanks once again.</p>
