Coming to a large university can potentially lead to feelings of inadequacy in the realm of performing arts. Many other students are coming from other, potentially more gifted backgrounds. You’re first instinct may be to not even bother and keep it as a hobby separate from school.

However, settling for this mindset would be a huge mistake for a young music lover.

“I think in college, you have the chance to experience music in a variety of ways,” said Michael Giles, senior lecturer in saxophone and jazz.

And what Giles says ultimately rings true, as there are over 40 unique student music and performing arts student organizations. Ranging from music fraternities and sororities to ukulele and dance clubs, there’s something to match both your passion and level of interest.
