ABSTRACT
As the participation rate of college students in clubs continues to increase, more and more attention is being paid to the realistic or potential impact of club activities on academics. The impact of college students’ involvement in clubs on their development is now being given more value and significance. Club activities affect students' academic engagement and performance by taking up a portion of their lifetime allocation, and college students’ integrated capabilities such as social skills, professional competence, and personality can be influenced by their participation in club activities. In addition to the positive effects, previous studies have identified conflicts and contradictions between academics and club participation, but excessive participation in club activities lacks a clear definition and few scholars have proposed feasible solutions. Current research related to this topic still has limitations, and future attempts can be made to explore the differences in the impact of club activities on individuals in different country regions and the localization of theoretical consequences.
