Beginning your university life at York can be exciting and nerve-wracking at the same time. There’s a big learning curve to adapt to, especially now that we are transitioning back to in-person classes. It can be very overwhelming for first-year students, who also have no knowledge of university courses and how to be a successful student. But don’t worry! In this episode of What’s UP(SA)?, host Aleksija talks about the basics of how to succeed in university with guest speakers Christina and Zahra. They share tips and advice about going back to school, like important supplies, self-care, and scheduling tips, as well as goal setting and completing goals, including how to stay motivated and how to avoid burnout. The transition from online to in-person classes is also discussed, since being back in a physical classroom is different but also a great opportunity to enhance your learning experience.
