#Student Housing

[allthecanadianpolitics]

Newfoundland and Labrador's post-secondary institutions have teamed up with an organization that can find housing for students, while helping to curb loneliness of seniors with room to spare.  SpacesShared, an online platform that helps pair seniors with empty rooms in their homes with students, has recently been launched in Newfoundland and Labrador. CEO Rylan Kinnon says the app uses an algorithm to match compatible students with older hosts interested in home sharing. "These are longer-term living relationships. We verify the host identity and their address. We verify the student's identity and that they are in fact enrolled at a post secondary institution," he said.  "Once they've actually connected through the platform, we support them. We check in with them a week after the student moves in and every month and if we identify any issues through that survey, we follow up with a phone call."

Day 26/100 of productivity

Tuesday, August 27th

Another overly busy day. When it comes to studying, all I was able to do was revew my existing flashcards. I was very productive in making my student housing more my own, though. With my parents' help, I installed a mosquito net above my bed, a sunscreen on my balcony, an art print above my abysmally small bookshelf, and a coat rack above my shoe rack! Enjoy my mediocre photos of it all, plus a bonus city photo since the weather has been too nice lately.

I have finally unpacked and moved into my room -I just finished last night- and today I went to the estate agents and did some research to put into my grimoire -also I just saw a cat

Time Management for Students: A Key to Success

Time management is a crucial skill that every student should master. It plays a vital role in achieving academic success, reducing stress, and maintaining a healthy work-life balance. In this article, we’ll explore the importance of time management for students and provide practical tips on how to effectively manage your time to make the most of your academic journey.

Understanding the Importance of Time Management for Students

Time is a finite resource, and it’s easy to let it slip through your fingers if you’re not careful. For students, time management is essential for several reasons:

Academic Success: Effective time management allows students to prioritize their studies and complete assignments on time. This leads to better grades and a deeper understanding of the subject matter.

Reducing Stress: Poor time management often results in procrastination and last-minute cramming, which can lead to high levels of stress. On the other hand, good time management reduces the pressure and anxiety associated with deadlines.

Balancing Multiple Responsibilities: Many students juggle academics, part-time jobs, extracurricular activities, and personal commitments. Proper time management helps in balancing these responsibilities without feeling overwhelmed.

Setting and Achieving Goals: Time management is the key to setting realistic goals and working toward them methodically. It ensures that you make steady progress towards your objectives.

Practical Tips for Effective Time Management

Now that we understand the importance of time management, let’s explore some practical tips to help students manage their time effectively:

Create a Schedule: Start by creating a weekly or monthly schedule that outlines your classes, study hours, and other commitments. Use digital tools or traditional planners to organize your time.

Set Clear Goals: Define your academic and personal goals. Knowing what you want to achieve will help you prioritize tasks and allocate time accordingly.

Prioritize Tasks: Not all tasks are of equal importance. Prioritize your assignments, projects, and activities based on their deadlines and importance. Focus on high-priority tasks first.

Break Down Large Tasks: If you have a big project or assignment, break it down into smaller, manageable tasks. This makes it less overwhelming and allows you to make steady progress.

Avoid Procrastination: Procrastination is the enemy of effective time management. Combat it by setting specific time slots for studying and sticking to them. Eliminate distractions during these periods.

Use Time Blocks: Consider using the Pomodoro Technique, which involves working in focused 25-minute intervals followed by a 5-minute break. This method can enhance productivity and prevent burnout.

Learn to Say No: While it’s essential to be involved in extracurricular activities and social events, don’t overcommit. Politely decline invitations or requests that could interfere with your academic responsibilities.

Seek Help When Needed: If you’re struggling with a particular subject or task, don’t hesitate to ask for help from teachers, tutors, or classmates. Getting assistance can save you time in the long run.

Review and Reflect: Regularly review your schedule and evaluate your time management techniques. Make adjustments as needed to optimize your efficiency.

Take Care of Yourself: Adequate sleep, a balanced diet, and regular exercise are vital for maintaining energy and focus. Don’t sacrifice your well-being for the sake of productivity.

Use Technology Wisely: Utilize time management apps and tools to help you stay organized. There are many apps available that can assist in creating schedules, setting reminders, and tracking progress.

Stay Flexible: While a structured schedule is essential, it’s also crucial to remain flexible. Unexpected events can occur, so be prepared to adapt your plans when necessary.

Effective time management is a skill that can significantly impact a student’s academic and personal life. It’s a tool that empowers you to make the most of your time, achieve your goals, and reduce stress. By creating a schedule, setting clear goals, and implementing practical time management techniques, you can unlock your full potential as a student.

Remember that time management is a skill that improves with practice. Start implementing these strategies today, and over time, you’ll become a more efficient and successful student, better equipped to handle the demands of academic life.

This basic unit has a very broad open corridor with the dwellings attached to one side, their dimensions ranging from 18 square metres for individual apartments to 99 square metres for the collective housing model which is shared by 6 students.

The three metre wide gallery forms a relational and meeting space that improves and extends the scant student habitat in the form of a semi-covered terrace.

the wooden panels which separate the apartments from the corridor add a feeling of furniture to the space, turning the area into a sort of living room, a domestic focal point.

When you get into the top universities abroad, especially in the UK, you just don’t come here to study. You come here with a unique opportunity to learn, build and live a new life altogether.

We know as an international student, the quest of connecting with new people and building a network is challenging. The job market is turning a new leaf in terms of competition and opportunities. Simply put, as the opportunities increase, so does the competition. However, to stand out in the market, your network is the key to achieving success.

You can connect with people either at your college or in student accommodation. But this is not the only way you can build your professional network. You might be wondering how. To help you out, this blog talks about the top tips for international students to create a professional network. Let’s find out how you can do it!

Tips to Build a Professional Network

Professional networking is an art where anyone can be an artist. When it comes to building a strong network, there are many ways to achieve success in the UK. You might think it is a daunting process but mark our words it is not what it looks like. If you know the right way, the process of building a professional network can be as easy as you think.

Universities Student Societies

One of the easiest ways to start building your network from scratch is to join student clubs and societies. Every university has a wide range of clubs that suit your interests and backgrounds. There are photography clubs, debate clubs, sports clubs, drama societies and more. You can simply join a club or society that suits your interests and connect with new people. Not only colleges, but student accommodation in the United Kingdom also tries to connect with like-minded people.

Explore University Events

From induction to farewells, UK universities host a variety of events all year around. You will find many webinars, seminars, workshops and more. This is one of the best ways to connect with new people. So, always ensure to keep a check on the college’s calendar to attend as many events as possible.

You will find like-minded people sharing the same thoughts which can be a key to a successful professional network. Also, student housing has students from different universities. Sometimes universities invite students from other universities. Hence, connect with students from different colleges to attend other colleges’ events as well.

Social Media and Online Platforms

Social media platforms such as LinkedIn, Reddit, Instagram and others can be very useful for building a social network. You can join student networks, forums and groups on platforms that can bring a significant change. These student communities and groups help you out in sharing information, gathering contacts and more.

Cultural Exchange

UK Universities host many cultural exchange programs which invite many students from across different universities. Such programs offer unique opportunities to learn about different cultures, backgrounds and opportunities. So, it is better to attend these cultural events, festivals and gatherings. As a result, this helps you to maintain both social and professional networks.

Career Fairs

Networking is a broad term which includes both social connections and professional connections. Be it student apartments or colleges, you can build social connections everywhere. But for professional connections, it is a little different. Every UK University organizes career fairs where numerous companies and professionals attend. This helps you to interact with professionals and potential companies, and learn about the job market and opportunities. You can easily start your professional networking from such events.

Mentor-Mentee Programs

Universities assign mentors to every student for personal and professional growth. They can be your professors, advisors or professionals from your courses which acts as a valuable aspect in professional networking. You can easily reach out to your mentors who can help you with their networks, advice and insights.

Volunteering in Community Programs

UK universities believe a lot in giving back to the community through charities, environmental programs, etc. And, there are people who strongly believe in finding ways. Hence, these community programs can be a great way to connect with professionals who are doing something noble. You can either attend or volunteer in these charities, community events, etc where you can make an impact.

Attend Networking Programs and Do Internships

Many universities conduct seminars and workshops to enhance students’ networks. In these seminars, you will find effective ways to communicate make meaningful connections and build rapport. In addition, you can even secure internships by taking full advantage of these resources and enhancing your networking skills.

You can simply reach out to your alumni through the alumni association or LinkedIn. This can help you out in gaining a wealth of experience and insights which is an easy way to navigate your career paths.

In short, building a professional network can be challenging yet a rewarding experience for international students. If you ever feel lonely in your student accommodation or maybe things won’t work out, being productive helps.

You can easily thrive if you follow the right tips and strategies to build your professional network. Hence, staying proactive and being open to new opportunities can easily provide you with a ladder to a strong professional network in the UK.
