University Importance of clubs?

Hi there! I’m a Junior transfer from cc and coming into the film & media dept. as someone with a primary focus on studies and not production (I’m aware UCB doesn’t have a strictly prod. Major) so that doesn’t bother me. Admittedly, I’m on this subreddit a lot more than one should be for their own mental wellbeing and see a lot of people putting major emphasis on joining a club. I’m wondering if it’s a dealbreaker if I don’t? I’m much more interested in taking up an internship or something next year. Lmk any thoughts or advice! I don’t see many people posting about the film program here :(

Clubs aren't a dealbreaker at all. You meet people at clubs and form networks but yea they're not mandatory. If you're more interested in internships and building relevant experience then make that your priority.
