What's everyone's best tip for university?

Hi everyone!

I'd say my go-to hack for balancing university life is always to plan your week ahead! The calendar app on my phone has become my best friend over the last couple of years and helped me stay on top of my work and avoid last-minute stress.

What's your #1 tip for making uni life easier? Let me know below! :smile:

Ask for help and support from the university support services especially if you have a disability or mental health issues.

It’s always helpful to ask somebody there who can help if you feel overwhelmed with any aspect of university life! The support teams are often lovely people who are willing to help you however they can :smile:

My best tip for university is to make the most of the opportunities available to you. Many of these opportunities are exclusive to your time as a student, so take full advantage of them while you can.

This includes everything from student discounts (which can save you a lot of money) to more significant opportunities like internships, scholarships, and study abroad programs. If your university offers a year abroad, seriously consider going for it—it’s a unique chance to immerse yourself in a new culture and gain invaluable experiences.

University is also a great time to network, join societies, and attend events that can help you grow personally and professionally. These opportunities won’t always be available after you graduate, so seize them while you can!
