    Student success, like joining an extracurricular activity has an impact on student success, but it doesn’t have to be good. Some activities might require lots of time and sometimes students don’t have that time. It can be a positive impact because it normally looks good on college applications.

Students who engage in extra-curricular activities have difficulty managing their time. For instance, activities such as basketball and volleyball requires a lot of energy and dedication.
