Hi there, I am just wondering how important extracurriculars are. I am a Dutch national, just graduated cum laude in Political Science from a university in Rome (took 5 'law' classes), but do not have any noteworthy extracurriculars. For example, within my university there were not many associations to join, and even if I had wanted to join one, it would have been extremely hard being a foreigner who doesn't speak the language fluently (my degree was completely in English but the majority of degrees offered are in Italian, and unfortunately, the level of English is quite poor. Just for information, I was the only international student in my class). Furthermore, I simply did not have a lot of spare time because I had to find a job in order to pay for my living expenses. The problem is that I don't think this is very noteworthy; I worked at a clothing store, simply helping customers.
I am currently an intern at a small international law firm here in Rome, so I definitely want to emphasize this since it's quite difficult to find some type of work experience as a non-law graduate in Italy (or the Netherlands for that matter). I am just afraid that is won't be enough.
Thanks
