For some, attending university is the first opportunity to explore independence on different levels. You may live on your own, make decisions for yourself and overall, will be responsible for how well you adapt in university. Making the most out of your campus experience is necessary for ensuring you enjoy all the time you spend here. How? These tips should help…
Take a proactive role in your learning
Managing deadlines, keeping tabs on your caffeine intake, heading to sleep-deprived AM classes thanks to late-night studying (or partying!) and making new friends are all part of the uni experience. But, it’s important to play an active role in learning. And, this doesn’t necessarily mean you’re confined to doing this in your classroom. Take that photography course you’ve been interested in despite being a fashion designing major. Chase after anything that interests you. Who knows when it’ll come in handy in the future.
