    076: 10 Tips for Starting University

    076: 10 Tips for Starting University

    Are you starting university this year? (Or know someone who is?) You won't want to miss this episode! 

    In this episode of the Dive Into Your Career podcast - I share "10 Tips for Starting University". The joke of it is, none of them actually relate to your academia / your degree because while you'll be taught in different ways and this can be worth addressing in future episodes - it is more the social element and the sense of belonging that will enhance your university experience in those early days. 

    So, whether you are in the car on the way to uni, in your Students Union listening on your Airpods, in your room - on a treadmill... wherever you are - enjoy this episode and I hope it helps you as you embark on one of your most exciting life adventures.
