Can a college kick out a student just because he doesn't do EC's?

Awped, Do you get the feeling that we’re talking to a brick wall? I sure do.</p>

<p>No, a college will not kick you out for not participating in EC’s.

</p>

<p>I am paying attention to the messages written on this thread. Why are you calling me a brick wall? So the answer to my question is that a college won’t kick me out for not doing EC’s. Great. That’s all I wanted to know.</p>

<p>

Failing to participate in EC’s will not stop you from getting a job in the future.

</p>

<p>I understand that part. Not doing EC’s won’t stop me from getting a job, but will it stop me from getting a good job?</p>

<p>

Employment in not an EC. A lack of employment history will hinder you getting a job in the future. You should seriously consider having some sort of job experience. Do you work during the summer? If not, you should consider getting a summer job.

</p>

<p>That’s something that I didn’t know. I thought that employment was considered an EC, especially when done on a part-time basis while attending college. EC or not, I will definitely try to get a job during the summer. Hopefully it will be a job that is related to my major, otherwise it will feel like a waste of time and effort.</p>

No, you do not have to actively participate in student activities. If you prefer to sit in your room alone, that’s your choice. Unfortunately, if you choose to spend your 4 years alone and in your room, you will have missed out on 4 years of honing your social and communication skills. Lacking these skills will hinder your prospect of gaining employment after graduation.

</p>

<p>I still don’t feel like doing EC’s, but the good part is that I hang out with my friends and that’s how I work on my social and communication skills.</p>

<p>

You will learn a lot about yourself if you try to place yourself outside of your comfort zone once in a while. The way you live your life is your choice. Remember that with choice comes responsibility of the consequences that are associated with your choice.

</p>

<p>What do you mean by “learn a lot about yourself”? Tell me an example of something that I might learn about myself if I force myself outside of my comfort zone.</p>

<p>

I hope you become more comfortable in your college life and find passion for something that will inspire you to leap outside of your comfort zone. Good luck to you.

</p>

<p>I have passions, I just don’t feel like doing EC’s. </p>
