What would you do different if you would study at university again? What tips would you give to a freshman? (Crowdsourcing for a flyer/zine)

@bleeptrackFailing is okay. Try to talk with your profs/administration as soon as possible to fix all the stupid mistake that will happen. Always (!) be nice to administrative people.

@bleeptrack I wouldn’t switch universities again just because my awesome peer group did, and I would have had to move in with my parents again. Cost me my degree in the end (if nothing else).Put yourself first, no matter how awesome your peer group is. This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t surround yourself with fantastic and inspiring individuals, but you shouldn’t be tempted to make decisions only with those people in mind instead of your education.(not sure if this is actually helpful)

@bleeptrack Be honest with yourself and your needs. It's all about a silly way to get a degree on paper, these days. Nothing else. You will actually learn the relevant things once working in a field. Just do the required and don't get too hung up about actually understanding the matter. The system doesn't reward you for anything but passed exams! Curiosity, is sadly a private matter and is rarely answered. There is usually no time for more. Just get this shit behind you.

@bleeptrack printing the “standard period of study is a lie” wall tattoo 4 semester earlier. And try to move as close to the university as possible. Long commute ways are way heavier as you initial think.

@bleeptrackWhere does the money that I pay for university go? Where or how can I shape decisions about it? 💸If it's in Germany: regulations about Bafög, Langzeitstudien-Gebühren (depends) and Urlaubssemster should be clear.I didn't, and not many do, but it helps to know your Studien- and Prüfungsordnung.Sry, complete denglish-f***-up. 😌

@bleeptrack the only reason to go there is either getting into research or training your brains stamina.It's just that for some jobs, you need the degree. However, if you do not focus on studying too hard and use all the opportunities outside of university you can take a lot with you. And you get access to great resources for learning things your interested in. It is mostly about studying for yourself and taking things into your own hands, if you want to have fun studying.

@bleeptrack Use a better learning technique than shoving everything in a night before the exam. (Recently read an article about Anki, http://augmentingcognition.com/ltm.html, I'd use that for example.) Also, don't underestimate the value of rote memorization of basics in your field. (The aforementioned article covers that as well.) To be honest, after reading it I thought, »now I want to go back to university and do it all better this time«.

@bleeptrack Mit "Regelstudienzeit" ist "Mindeststudiendauer" gemeint. Man sollte sich nicht an der Regelstudienzeit messen, sondern wenn überhaupt an der durchschnittlichen Studienzeit (kann teilweise beim Prüfungsamt abgefragt werden).
