Make sure it will keep you interested <\/strong><\/p>\n Always go after what you interested in or deeply in love with. Studying in university is lots harder than high school. You probably will face lots of identity issue during your first year, especially for the students from another part of the country or from another country. Without the interest you have towards the field of study it will make your journey of university a lot harder since you will lose your motivation.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t be so hard on yourself<\/strong><\/p>\n Don\u2019t force yourself to ace every subjects, to impress every lecturers, to have tons of friends across the city. Please remember that you will be in much trouble already, and being hard on yourself won\u2019t help you. Learn to acknowledge yourself, what do you like, what you good at, what you want to learn. You are your own best friend, don\u2019t create gap inside you.<\/p>\n Find a balance between activities and embrace opportunities<\/strong><\/p>\n Being in university is not only about hanging out with your friends, take pictures, upload it and tell the world how perfect your life is. Yes, you need to socialize with your friends, having a social life is important. But remember, in university you are responsible of every action of yours, so be wise. Remember to study twice hard then your party. Always be open for another options. Try new opportunities, don\u2019t stuck only on your homework. Get involved in something you never try before, you might surprise yourself with the result.<\/p>\n Get your way around the university<\/strong><\/p>\n If you are studying in big campus, it might take the whole 4 years to know your way if you don\u2019t bother to get acquainted with the university. Starts with the building you will have classes in, know where the bathrooms are, the stairs, labs, it will help you to move faster.<\/p>\n It\u2019s not a playground anymore where your parents will find or do something for you. But this time, they won\u2019t be there to ask questions for you. When you need help, don\u2019t be ashamed or shy to ask. Reach out to your classmates, lecturers, tutors and other support staff.<\/p>\n Find out about the clubs and join one or two of them which you are interested in. Don\u2019t overwhelmed yourself with many clubs but ended up skipping everything because you have too much on your plate.
