<p>Of course you are not required to do extracurriculars at college. However, most colleges would like their students to “give back” to the community in some form or another, whether by playing a sport, participating in music, getting involved in student government, or just serving on a committee. It makes for a better campus environment if students do something to make the campups better, rather than just doing academics. Even tutoring would help.</p>
