The highest goal of students in co-curricular activities is to expand the network

relationship. This is because students will meet with students from various faculties under
one of their chosen activities. The lowest point, though, is just for entertainment. This is the
least likely option because the students themselves are just adding new knowledge to
themselves. However, the shared average is improving the practical ability and others.

and doing some activities as they are more engaging with students than studying in the
library.
