**1. Introduction**

Education is a multidimensional-integrated process that is not limited to classroom activities, as it also encompasses extracurricular activities that expand and increase the knowledge presented in the classroom, deepen students' experience, and provide opportunities for further growth in various fields.

An education that is connected to learners' goals, objectives, interests, needs, and experiences definitely impacts their behavior. Besides the importance of education and the subjects students learn, students also need well recognized universities and well established and accredited courses in high education, as well as extracurricular activities, which help them to practice and maintain their hobbies, discover their new talents, develop their existing skills, reduce academic pressure, and maintain a balance between their academic and nonacademic lives. This agrees with Ref. [1], who concluded that students experience high rates of pressure and mental illness during their university studies. Furthermore, they found that university friendship groups were more protective against distress than other social identities. Khasawneh [2] believes that

nonacademic activities are an important part of the university curriculum in its modern concept and are well-matched with the school. The importance of these activities is that their roles in building and refining students' personalities and many of their objectives are achieved through the activities carried out outside the classroom.

Patrick et al. [3] view the extracurricular activities as the activities that are conducted under the umbrella of the school but occur outside of normal classroom time and are not part of the curriculum. According to [4] student groups, ranging from cultural and social organizations (including fraternities and sororities) to student publications and athletic groups, provide an enormous range of extracurricular activities.
