How to Be a Successful Student
- 1. How to Be a Successful Student
- 2. With your newfound freedom, a heavy workload, and plenty to distract you, it can be difficult to be a successful student at college or university. It is important that you have a game plan if you are going to ace your exams and graduate on time.
- 3. Organize Your Time Dedicate certain times of the day to schoolwork. During these periods, turn off your phone notifications and don’t allow yourself to do anything unrelated to your studies.
- 4. Focus on One Thing Pick a single activity and give it your undivided attention. You may believe that you can multitask, but if you try to do more than one thing at once, the quality of your work will suffer.
- 5. Set Realistic Goals As a rule, projects take longer than you would expect. Give yourself more time than you think you’ll need to complete the work. In addition, plan to work for reasonable amounts of time. Spending too long studying will only make you exhausted, and you’ll be unable to absorb all the information.
- 6. Take Breaks Include breaks in your schedule. It’s best if you can use your breaks to be productive. For instance, regular exercise will make it easier to concentrate.
- 7. Get Enough Sleep Another way to give your brain a break is to sleep enough at night. Figure out how many hours you need and make sure you never sleep less than that.
- 8. Create a Study Space Assign a space just for studying. This needs to be away from the view of the TV and other things that may distract you. It should also feature a comfortable seat. Use the space just for your schoolwork — this will help put you in the right mindset.
- 9. Study with Others Studying with others will keep you motivated. It also gives you the opportunity to discuss any material you are struggling with and to explain concepts to others — if you are able to explain something, you definitely understand it.
- 10. It is impossible to be a successful student if you lack a quality Waterloo student living space. You’ll be able to focus much better on your studies if you move off campus and seek out Waterloo student housing rentals.
- 11. Your best option is a place like King Street Towers. Designed just for students, the rooms are furnished suites with comfortable beds. On site, you’ll find lounges for group study, a fitness centre, and a recreational centre where you can relax with friends.
