Hello and welcome to My Student Tips, the site that aims to make your time at college or university the smoothest and most enjoyable of your life.

Becoming a student for the first time is a complicated business. You have to juggle your studies with your social life. You have to take care of yourself - managing your budget, buying essentials (I’m talking about books as well as beer!) and cooking for yourself.

At every turn there are potential problems and pitfalls and it’s important that you’re not only aware of them, but also know how to handle them.

And that’s what we’re here for.

This site is written by ex-students who have completed their studies in the last few years and aims to show you the secrets, tips and nuggets of advice that will help you get the most out of your student experience.

It is constantly updated with new information so please bookmark us and make sure you keep coming back - and please feel free to leave us a comment here on the site if you have a question that you’d like answered.
