text: what does a college student do to be well rounded ? i have been interested in what i should be doing to be socially well rounded in college.  i  think what i need falls into these categories:  community service/volunteerism lnternships/co-ops club/sports involvement leadership roles academic involvment/research in the major.   anything else i have forgotten? please enlighten me. thank you you hit the big ones that i would have suggested.  be careful and not to overextend yourself.  your grades are important and being a tutor is a great way to help others and keep your academic edge.  also, working with the professors on projects.  it is better to be good at a couple of things than to be so spread out you are not good at anything.  have one activity where you are in charge.  you will gain a lot from that experience.
