text: First of all, how much of an impact these activities is pretty cool when you think about it. One reason is because many students will be able to make friends in these activities, because everyone there shares at least one interest. It opens them up to people with similar interests which could be very helpful in making friends. Another reason is because these activities will give them time to hangout with their previously-made friends, or their new friends they just met. Last reason I will mention is stress levels. Their stress could get significantly lower, because they are hanging out with friends which usually makes people happier and with that they become more approachable. That is why the social impact it can have is positive.
