Stressed about University? 🎓

Essential tips you must know before University:

Here are 5 essential things you must know before going to University. 

1. Do a lot of research 👈

Students may fall into the trap of choosing a course that they later do not find interesting. During the start of University, I have seen a lot of people drop out from University to choose a different course. 

Therefore, you should choose wisely and make sure you choose a subject that you love.  

 

2. Getting the right equipment 👈

At University level, I have realised that it is essential to have a laptop. You could save a lot of money buying a laptop before University, as it saves you from buying one at the last minute. 

In my opinion, a laptop can make it a lot easier to type up lecture notes. 

However, some people may prefer to write lecture notes by hand, so having your preferred notebook and pen is a must too. 

3. Study space 👈

If you are living at home, you should try to create a space to study. Creating a study area will allow you to tune out distractions around the home. 

For those who live in student accommodation, the rooms are accommodated with a study area of a desk and chair. 

4. Student offers 👈

Students have many benefits. One of these being a 6 month free trial on Amazon which makes you exclusive to a 10% discount on many textbooks, clothing, shoes and accessories.

Students can also get discounts on many essentials through UniDAYS or StudentBeans.

 5. Open Days 👈

Take advantage of University open days as this will allow you to explore university environments and give you a sense of what it is like to be there. 

You could also meet new people and potentially make new friends who may be studying the same subject as you. 

As a result, you may not feel as anxious on your first day at University. 

Conclusion 

These essential tips may enhance your experience at University as many individuals are unaware of these. This will make sure you have all the advice you need before entering the world of University life.
