1) there are over 40 clubs on campus. and if you want to make one: Go ahead. its simple and fast. 2) there are many things that will keep you occupied. 3) easy to find a job oncampus 4) to women: there are more of us than the men. so, if you are single and are looking for a boyfriend. chances are there are 10 other girls thinking the same and going for the same guy you are out to get. 5) to men: LUCKY you! but you BETTER treat Soka women with respect.
