Usage of Social Media
Everyone is sure to have an opinion on this subject. Fewer people are likely to deny that using social media in the wrong way is not good. Whether through your own experience, conversations you’ve had or by looking online, you may have an understanding of what is to be avoided when using social media. Monitoring your usage of social media however is a sensible tip, as this could help stop you becoming dependent on it. It has also been pointed-out that being careful with your posts is good too, as a careless or ill-judged post could have unwanted repercussions for you either socially or in terms of employment. Also, security is an important factor for using social media, so be aware of this and be careful.
Student Money Advice
Perhaps not a surprising topic to bring up, money could be an issue for you as a student; as we all know student life and a comfortable financial situation are not always that closely linked. With this in mind, it may be wise to start planning how to deal with your finances for the coming year. You may even want to begin setting out a budget that covers all of your living expenses, such as food, rent, travel and all the other costs for all of the essential and not-so essential outgoings that are part of getting through your weeks.
Student Noise
When it comes to your neighbours, it may be a good idea to make, where possible, a positive impression on them and probably, more importantly, to consider the levels of noise coming from within your digs. This is important as no one wants to be kept up at night or be caused unnecessary problems simply because someone failed to be careful about the volume emanating from their studio.
Home Hygiene
Although it may be the first time that you have lived away from home, there is no real alternative to being thorough and consistent in regards to maintaining the overall hygiene of your student home. Even if you have been living away from home for some time, it might be worth seeing if you can make any improvements. Keeping your place clean creates a clear path to a home that enables sanitary, healthy living, and making sure rubbish is dealt with correctly will help you keep pests away. Being aware of cleanliness in your student home and acting accordingly will help make your living experience much more pleasant.
University Loneliness
It can be easy to become isolated when you are living on your own, so it is advisable to socialise when you can and make time to see places other than the inside of your student accommodation. In order to give yourself options and to get the most out of the occasions when you leave your studio, it is recommended that you learn about what the local area offers as well as any other areas that are nearby. Student in Selly Oak, Birmingham for example, will discover that it boasts a number of pubs and restaurants that are able to give you a brilliant night-out. And, via a short journey by car or public transport, you can get to other local towns like Kings Heath or Moseley, or even the constantly stimulating Birmingham City Centre.
Partying
If you imagine going to parties to be a regular thing for you at uni’, maybe give it a second’s thought. No one wants to spoil your fun so don’t feel like you need to worry about enjoying yourself. What should be said though is that there are certain pitfalls you can avoid. And avoiding them should make parties more fun for you. You may already know what the issues can be and everyone is different, but some things like excessive drinking are always worth being wary of. Watching what you pour down your neck is not only good for your health, it’s good for your wallet, too.
Another thing is to simply be mindful of how often you’re going-out and how long you stay-out for as it can catch-up with you, making you more tired and creating an impact on other parts of your student life. While we want you to have fun and make the most of the university experience, it is worth pointing-out that knowing your limits and having a little awareness of what you’re doing is pretty useful.
Importance of Healthy Lifestyle for Students

However, it isn’t too difficult to make sure that you stay healthy. All that is required in basic terms is a balanced diet and plenty of exercise. Take steps to finding more information on these matters and take the necessary steps to make sure you enjoy a more rewarding university experience.
Accommodation Maintenance
You may find that there are problems with your studio from time to time. Through no fault of your own, you may discover that certain aspects of your accommodation will require special attention to alleviate these problems. In these instances, contacting your landlord is the route to take. Tackling any issues promptly leads to quicker results for you and an all-around better property as a consequence.
