Involving in a Co-Curricular activity, actually means doing not only WELL in your acedamics but also equally GOOD in other fields like DEBATING, SPORTS, MUSIC, ORGANISING smth, Helping out N.G.O and poor people (like flood victims-recent example) etc..

Top-class universities really consider these Co-Curricular activities... As they show the leadership qualities and other skills of that student besides Studies...
A Student with Co-curricular activites has a higher chances to get into a good university than a student whose Co-Curricular activities are ZERO...
They are then considered as BOOK WORMS :D

That means u r ONLY studying and nothing else :(
U shud at least work as a volunteer for an Organisation to get a CERTIFICATE...
That'll really work...
Or otherwise Co-curricular activities are not MUST to do..
U can get admission on ur GOOD GRADES also..
I juz cleared the fact that these activities are counted!!!

yeah actually I 'm either studying ,watching tv or online and that's because I found no organisations here at least where I live ,maybe if I had been in Egypt I would have really found sth .
so is there any activities that can be done online?
