For those of you who follow our blog, you may well have read our first two instalments on study tips for your Erasmus+ or Turing Scheme placement abroad. If not, you can access them via this link. This is our third and final list of brilliant study tips to help you get the most out of your time while abroad, and to study in comfort. These tips aren’t just for while you’re away – once you’ve adopted them, you’ll find that you use them throughout life! Don’t forget to share our tips with your friends, classmates and family, they’ll thank you for your good advice.
1. Stuck in a Tight Space? Consider a Bed Shelf!
These handy, fabric Bunk Buddy shelves slip onto the side of tables and beds and store everything you need to study, pens, textbooks, notebooks, pencils etc. Great if you’re in a small dorm room or if you’re sharing a tight apartment. They’re also compact enough to pack away and take back home with you at the end of your study placement.
2. Another Handy Tight Space Solution!
Why not study in extreme comfort – from your bed of course! A Lapdesk sits across your lap and is the perfect size for your computer so you can work without even getting up in the morning at the weekends. Or, late into the night, if you prefer to study during the early hours of the morning (but make sure you get enough sleep or you won’t perform at school, college or university).
3. A Comfy Throw
A throw doesn’t seem like a study tip but actually, being comfortable is so important. So, keep a nice throw close by, for when it gets cold or for when you want to be wrapped up while reading a textbook. Plus, a good-looking throw will look uber-stylish in your dorm or student apartment!
4. A Tablet Stand or Phone Stand
Maximise your desk-space with a useful tablet or phone stand. Not only can use then use your technology to help you with your studies but you won’t need to fumble around looking for it or move it to make more space. Furthermore, if you’re on a Zoom or Teams lecture, simply use your phone or tablet to tune in, while keeping your computer free to make notes. It’s a big winner!
5. A Massive Water Bottle!
To stop you constantly going to the kitchen area to fill up your water. Keepa 4 or 5 litre huge bottle on your desk (or on the floor if you’re running out of space) and sip water at regular intervals during study periods to keep you nicely hydrated.
