5 University Tips for an Unforgettable Experience

1. Classes and fun: balance the scale

Let’s be honest. The university student has a permanent internal dilemma: study or procrastinate. Except for subjects that are compulsory or that are really exciting for you, you will probably find yourself faced with this dichotomy. The true maturity is in finding the middle ground, the balance between studying and having fun. Living only between the class and the library can be excessive if done from minute 1 of the race.

3. Get to know your area

It is true that Google gives us everything already done: which bus to take each time, which places are open at that moment, etc. But one of the best tips for college is to know your area by heart, as it will help you better plan your day to day. Therefore, from the moment you settle into your new home (or even before), you should know such important details for your daily life such as:

• Nearby means of transport and all the relative information: hours, opening, closing, price, combinations …
• Nearby supermarkets, with their hours, closing days, etc.
• Pharmacies in the surroundings
• Useful places for the study: libraries, reprographic shops, etc

5. Unity is strength… and savings

Finally, another tip for college is to join forces with your friends or colleagues for certain services that, when shared, are safer and cheaper. For example, a taxi or an Uber between 4 to share expenses and arrive accompanied at night. Or an online purchase among several to save shipping and preparation costs. Or even create a common user in an eCommerce for students with which to accumulate benefits … And if there is a lot of confidence, you can even share class assignments, such as cleaning up certain topics from the notes, taking turns ordering photocopies in reprography, etc.
