This study explored effects of extracurricular activities on university students’ achievement, creativity and giftedness, emotional control, morality, social adaptation and career selection. The study was conducted in the academic year 1438-39 on a sample consisting of 950 female students at Dilam College of Education, Prince Sattam Bin Abdulaziz University, KSA. Participants came from different specializations and study levels since extracurricular activities are general in nature, i.e., they are not specific to any specialization or study level. Participants completed a 30-item researcher-developed questionnaire groping the effect of extracurricular activities on achievement, creativity and giftedness, emotional control, morality, social adaptation and career selection. Extracurricular activities were found to enhance all the dependent variables in this order: morality, identification of giftedness, emotional control, creativity, career selection, social adaptation and achievement. Based on results, a number of recommendations are offered.
