Planning is the key to success
When you start college, it’s crucial to create a study schedule that is realistic and tailored to your own pace. Don’t try to conquer the world in one day! According to Prof. Dr. Wagner Sanchez from FIAP, the secret lies in adjusting your plan based on your needs and, more importantly, maintaining consistency. Remember: your schedule doesn’t need to be perfect, just effective!

Manage your time like a pro
That feeling of having a thousand things to do and not knowing where to start is common. However, good time management can save you from a lot of stress. Prioritize your tasks, balancing academic demands with your social and extracurricular life. This will help not only in your personal development but also in your professional growth.

Build your support network
College isn't just about classes and assignments. Making friends is essential to making this phase lighter and more enjoyable. Building a support network with classmates, upperclassmen, and even professors can make a huge difference in your college experience. As Ewerton Camarano, CEO of Uliving, points out, being around people going through the same challenges can transform your journey.

Study efficiently
Have you heard of the Pomodoro Method or Mind Maps? These are some techniques that can optimize your learning and prevent mental overload. Additionally, it’s important to practice exercises and solve problems to reinforce the content. Use these strategies to study smarter, not harder.

Leverage technology to your advantage
Nowadays, there are countless apps that can help you organize your study routine. Tools like Trello, Notion, and Google Calendar can be your best allies in keeping your activities under control. This way, you avoid the stress of cramming the night before exams and keep your productivity high!

Choose wisely where to live
If college takes you to another city, choosing a place to live is one of the most important decisions. Look for an environment that offers comfort, safety, and a sense of belonging, like Uliving. After all, this will be where you'll rest, study, and create unforgettable memories during this time.

Explore the world around you
College life isn’t just about the classroom. Take time to explore the surroundings of your school: discover neighborhoods, parks, cultural spaces, and more. As Camarano says: “Get off your screens and go see what the world has to offer!” This will help you maintain balance and may even reveal new passions.
