What should I ask current students about clubs and part-time work?
Ask about a club’s actual meeting days and hours, costs, atmosphere, and how easy it is to join or leave. Also ask whether students can balance it with classes and exam periods. For part-time work, ask how many hours students typically work, whether shifts can be adjusted around classes, whether commuting makes the schedule difficult, how work affects study, and where students can seek advice.
