What many students do
not realise during their time at university is that it’s what you do outside (or
during your breaks between lectures etc) of university that will usually get
you further with your degree. However, this blog is about hacks you can do at
uni.
One of the highest returning
investments you can make at uni is an investment into your own knowledge of a
particular interest of yours. Reading books and articles that are relevant to
your degree but not directly related, during your lecture and prac breaks,
benefits you more than you think.

Those hidden benefits include:
a) That new-found knowledge will provide you with
more information you can use within your assignments, giving you an advantage
over your peers because you have included a piece of information that not many
(or no one) would have thought about.
b) It forms a new way of thinking of things and
teaches you to remove boundaries that limit your imagination from thinking of
bigger and better ideas.
Other ways you can teach yourself
things that are relevant to you and your degree are by helping your friends and
other students in your class with their assignments. This also provides you
with the number one way to study!
