Study Diary #10

Today, I finished moving from my old dorm room (left) to my new one (right). It's smaller and it will take me a bit of time to adjust but I am happy. The view outside is incredible (excuse my shitty camera) so I am hoping that having a study desk beside my window will motivate me to study more. I felt very sad leaving my old dorm room even though I had only lived there for five months. But as life progresses, I have to learn to let go and move onto better things even if it is uncomfortable and painful.

Anyone who's been in student accommodation or any other situation where you had a shared kitchen with people you didn't know beforehand how did you work out how to divide up shelf/cupboard/fridge space? Because I may be doing that in September and at the visit I had they said something along the lines of there's a cupboard for each person, but idk if they're actually assigned or you have to discuss it together? Like did you all get together to talk about it? Because that seems most logical but I keep imagining this scenario where I go and I don't know how to start a conversation and nobody especially approaches each other about it, and then I just have to work out these unspoken rules? That's probably not what happens right? Everyone needs to work things out together? And yes I'm autistic

Advice for living in uni accommodation!

hi there, its your friendly internet big sibling here to give you some top tips for surviving living in university accommodation. This post is aimed at UK residents, because that's where im from, but some of this stuff may apply to students in other countries too!

laundry is probably one of the worst parts of uni accom because you have to use the laundromats run by circuit laundry and they Suck. to save money, dont use the dryers get yourself a clothes airer from b&m bargains or somewhere similar and hang your clothes up to dry in your room. also, the laundromat will be quietest on saturday and sunday mornings because half of the people in your building will be hungover as shit and the other half are too lazy to get up before 11 on a weekend, so exploit that!

make a groupchat with your flatmates. use something like whatsapp ideally, not snapchat or instagram. its a lifesaver if you accidentally lock yourself out or need to borrow something, or if you just need to complain about the state of the kitchen.

speaking of the kitchen, please for the love of god clean up after yourself. if you spill something or make a mess while cooking, just give it a wipe down. dont be that guy.

take your bins out once they start to get full, not once they are overflowing. especially in the summer. fruit flies are so annoying. my boyfriend went home for a week a while ago and his flatmates didnt empty the bins at all while he was gone and he came back to Actual Fucking Maggots everywhere.

also this should go without saying but i know from experience it does need to be said. dont take your flatmates shit without asking. we had a food thief last year and with how expensive food is at the moment they probably stole hundreds of pounds worth of shit. i only noticed because my bread kept going missing and i put a message on the groupchat about it and apparently lots of other people had noticed things going down much faster than they should as well. if you want to use something just ask, and if you are struggling to afford food there are systems in place for that. talk to the uni about it, dont steal from other people who are also struggling.

I'm moving out of my student accommodation and why the fuck do I have so much stuff?

I've done four trips across to my new accommodation (which is only across the road from this one) and I'm not even halfway through.

I've managed to transport almost all of my books which is a goddamn miracle as there's a fuck ton of them.

I've been moving stuff across since 11am. It is now almost 3pm. Kill me.

Embracing Volunteer Opportunities: How to Make a Difference While Studying in the UK

Volunteering is a significant and powerful way to give back to the global community. When you approach moving to a new country like the United Kingdom, the transition can be a significant change. You might wonder how exactly you can stand out and build new skills while studying here.

Being a student, we know there are many changes to which you adapt. For instance, you start living in student accommodation or adjusting to the new place jitters. In addition to adapting to a new place, you have to manage busy schedules, social engagements and co-curricular activities. However, adding volunteering to your day can be a fulfilling and beautiful experience. Volunteering is not only about giving back to society but also about learning and earning benefits that go beyond university life. In this blog, we are penning down why volunteering is important and how it can make a difference while studying in the UK. Let’s find out!

Why Volunteering is a Fulfilling Experience?

Once you move to the United Kingdom, you can expect to find multiple student communities with different interests. With a rich tradition of community engagement, most people rely on volunteers to give essential services. Especially for international students, volunteering can help you to foster a sense of belonging, meet new people and build both professional and personal connections.

This is also a fulfilling experience as they can promote cultural exchange and understand British culture. You can volunteer at anything that aligns with your beliefs and interests. It can be participating in a cleanliness drive by your student housing or guiding new students on campus. There are also volunteer programs supporting environmental organizations, healthcare initiatives and more.

How to Find The Right Opportunity to Volunteer?

The United Kingdom offers a wide range of opportunities for students to volunteer. From large businesses to grassroots student accommodation, each enterprise works to give back to the community. However, students should not get involved in anything. You should know what interests you, which the right opportunity is and how it aligns with your career goals. As a result, here are some ways to find the opportunity and secure the right volunteer experience.

What are your Interests?

Always start by reflecting on your interests the most. You might be interested in healthcare, social causes, education or animal welfare. Hence, it is better to explore which area interests you the most and aligns with your career goals. For instance, if you’re studying real estate, working with student accommodation websites can help you further.

Explore Opportunities through Universities

Most of the universities in the UK have a dedicated team for students, especially international students, to help you find volunteer opportunities. UK Universities have joined hands with various local charities, businesses and non-profit organizations.

You can also connect with your mentor provided by the college to explore volunteer opportunities. This way, you can find opportunities that have a good impact on your career goals. In addition, there are student unions and career service centres for better recommendations.

Online Platforms Works like a Charm

Let’s say your college might not have a dedicated team to offer you volunteer opportunities. You can easily search online for many opportunities. There are various platforms like LinkedIn, Reach Volunteering and more to find what interests you. Such websites have a strong network with renowned businesses to help students well. Also, they help you find opportunities based on location, skills, availability and preferences.

Work On Skill-Based Volunteering

Volunteering is good for many reasons. Starting from skill development to career development, volunteering can help you learn things that go beyond student life. Always try to find those volunteer opportunities that help you gain skills that can help you later in your professional life.

For example, if you are a law student at the University of Law, Leeds, try exploring opportunities with legal aid. If you are a computer science student, try to engage with NGOs to assist them with technology.

Explore Volunteering Fairs

Similar to career fairs and job fairs, colleges and student communities host volunteer fairs. You can easily connect with the leaders of local charities and NGOs which can be significant in your professional growth. These events are also good for understanding what companies are looking for while learning and giving back to the community.

Benefits of Volunteering In the UK

Volunteering is a significant move you can make while studying here in the UK. This not only helps in professional life but personal life too. Some of the benefits of volunteering in the UK are:

 Enhance your skill set

 Develop a successful professional network

 Promote personal growth

 Helping your student housing with cleanliness drives or social gatherings.

 Improve the sense of belonging and mental health

 Contribute to the community

 Make new friends and more.

Balance Volunteering With Your Studies

While volunteering is important in students’ lives, so are academics. Hence, it is necessary to strike a balance between the studies and volunteering. You can start balancing by allocating the time required to both. It should not be like either you are giving too much time to volunteering and neglecting studies, and vice versa. Moreover, some organizations and NGOs offer flexibility or remote opportunities. As a result, it is easy to integrate time according to your schedule and life.

Simply put, volunteering can be a challenging yet rewarding experience for students in the UK. You can easily make a difference by volunteering and sparing some time from your busy schedule. So, explore what interests you and make a meaningful impact while enjoying your life at student accommodation in the UK.

Understanding the benefits of Student Housing in Turkey and Russia

The world has been getting globalized day by day & a huge number of students are looking for higher educational opportunities in destinations across the world. The demand for accommodation has thus turned into a rising demand because of the globalization of education. Turkey and Russia are two countries with rich cultural heritages that have lately turned into two of the hottest destinations for global students. Let's see how Student accommodation in Turkey and Russia has evolved in these countries and how it has come to be more beneficial for students.

1. Modern Amenities and Facilities

In Turkey and Russia, the student housing option has also transformed dramatically over the years to fit the dynamic profile of the student. The advanced facilities of spacious rooms, high-speed internet connectivity, libraries, and recreational areas have now come up as mainstream in most student hostels. These amenities increase general standards of living and offer the student a good environment for academic work.

2. Low Cost of Living

Affordability is among the most captivating features of student accommodation in Turkey and Russia. Considering that the living standards of Turkey and Russia are relatively low in comparison with most of the Western countries, this has made the trend very affordable for international students. Student dormitories are often equipped with cost-effective housing solutions that help save the resources of students for academic and personal needs.

3. Opportunities for Cultural Immersion

Living in student hostels, the students are exposed to a multicultural environment, hence learning a lot from each other and making international friendship ties. For this in Turkey and Russia alike, students can communicate with other students, learn from them, and acquire an academic life that is enriched outside of their classes. Such intercultural interactions create key qualities of tolerance, understanding, and awareness of the globe, which is important in the modern, interconnected world.

Proximity to Universities and Academic Resources The student accommodation for the respective universities in Turkey and Russia has been strategically located at a distance from the university and other academic resources. Proximity saves the student a great deal of time and money that would have been spent while commuting, in return for being used in extracurricular activities. The visit to libraries, research facilities, and other extracurricular activities is made easier. The academic hub into which the accommodation is placed makes it quite engaging for students to be in their studies and collaborate with their lecturers and fellow students.

4. Safety and security measures The utmost importance is given to the safety and security of the students in universities within Turkey and Russia. High safety measures are provided at student dormitories, such as CCTV surveillance, access control mechanisms, and on-site staff presence. This, in turn, means that students and their families can rest assured in the knowledge that while their child studies abroad, his or her life is going to be well taken care of. Student dorm Russia and Turkey has, over time, followed this trend of development to cater to the divergent needs of the modern, international student. From modern amenities and affordable living costs to cultural immersion opportunities and safety measures, these accommodations proffer a supportive environment for the all-around prosperity of the student—academically, socially, and personally. More students venturing out for education away from home is a clear indication of the dire need for quality accommodation to guarantee a well-fulfilled and rich experience.
