Are you heading off to university soon? It can be tough adjusting to life at university when you’re first starting. This new chapter of your life comes with a lot of freedom and responsibility. There may even come a time where you find yourself having too many things on your plate and you’re unsure of how to cope with the stress.

Here are 10 life hacks every student needs to know to make sure your university experience is as easy as possible.

1. Don’t be afraid to ask for extensions

Managing multiple deadlines at the same time can be overwhelming. It can sometimes take a toll on your mental health, thus affecting your productivity and your ability to focus on your assignments. You’ll be surprised to know that some of your other classmates may be struggling in silence to meet their deadlines too, just like you. So don’t hesitate to email your lecturer or meet them in person to ask for an extension! Most lecturers are generous enough to give their students an extra day or two so they can complete their assignment without receiving a penalty for their late submission.

2. Make full use of your student discounts

Take advantage of all the perks you get from having a student ID card. Many restaurants, cinemas, amusement parks, clothing stores, museums and art galleries, and even online subscriptions such asSpotify offer exclusive discounts for students only. Save your allowance, and enjoy special deals and promotions while you’re still studying!

3. Get your hands on free food and drinks on campus

Everyone knows the only way to attract students to attend an event on campus is by offering free food. Keep an eye out for the latest events happening on campus and make sure to sign yourself and your friends up. Not only will you be able to enjoy free food and drinks but this is also your opportunity to take up a new hobby, learn a new skill and make new friends at these events.

4. Prioritize a good night’s sleep

Poor sleeping habits are so normalized among university students. There’ll be times during the semester where you’re forced to pull an all-nighter to study for an exam or complete an assignment at the last minute. However, if you’re getting sleepy and you can no longer concentrate on the work you’re doing then it’s best you call it a night and get some rest. You can wake up early in the morning and face your books when you’re feeling more refreshed.

5. Write down everything you need to get done

Sometimes it does help to write stuff down rather than force yourself to keep a mental list of all the things you need to do. Keep a planner with you at all times or use sticky notes and paste a physical reminder someplace you can see. There’s no way you can forget a presentation or an assignment or a class test now!

6. Don’t hesitate to ask your lecturers a question

As cliche as it sounds, there’s really no such thing as a silly question. Your lecturers are here to help answer your questions so ask as many of them as you like!  Not only will you be boosting your engagement in class but you’re also showcasing your enthusiasm in the topic. By being brave and raising your questions in class, you might actually be helping your classmates who needed some clarification on the particular topic but were too afraid to speak up.

7. Get all your important deadlines at the start of semester

Lecturers would usually release course outlines a week or two before the new semester starts. You’d be able to prepare ahead of the semester and find out what your required readings are, what topics you’ll be exploring in class and when all your assignments are due. Keep note of all your important deadlines and create a schedule so you can stay on top of  your assignments!

8. Avoid early morning lectures if you can

9. Enroll in your classes on the first day of registration

Seats get filled up very quickly for popular classes. You don’t want to be stuck in a time slot you’d have difficulty waking up for or be forced to take a class you have no interest in learning. So don’t wait too long, coordinate with your friends and try joining the same classes together. This way, you can also hold each accountable and make sure you complete your assignments on time and attend all your classes.

10. Try working from a difference space

It can be so easy to just roll out of bed and go straight to your desk to work on your assignments or study for an exam. But it can be just as easy to go lie back down when you’re feeling unmotivated to do work. Why not try working from a different space and see how that affects your productivity? Bring a pair of headphones to limit your distractions, carry your laptop and your books, and head to the library or visit a cafe near your campus and start working! A change of work environment might do wonders for your creativity and your ability to focus.

Good luck hacking your way through university!

  • Welcoming Safa to #UniKL! 🎓✨

Team #EMGA had the pleasure of assisting Safa and her wonderful family — her father, mother, and younger brother — who looked fresh and cheerful despite just arriving from Kuwait the day before. 💛

We started the day with her medical check-up ✅, then went straight into a campus tour adventure and accommodation check-in 🏡. Safa’s family radiated warmth and joy, even inviting us to join them for a lovely Indian lunch 🍛🥰. They shared how much they enjoy trying new foods, and can’t wait to explore Malaysian cuisine next!

With 7 days in Kuala Lumpur, they’re especially excited to visit iconic spots like KLCC 🌆✨. We wish them the happiest adventures ahead — and an amazing start to Safa’s study journey here in Malaysia, both in and #BeyondTheClassroom 🚀💙

  • A warm welcome to Alaa 🌸—beginning her postgraduate journey at #UKM! 🎓✨

Team #EMGA had the pleasure of assisting Alaa with her registration today, followed by a coffee catch-up right on campus ☕💙. After completing her registration, we also supported her at the visa unit to apply for dependent visas for her children.

Alaa isn’t alone on this journey — her three kids are here with her and have already enrolled in an international school, making Malaysia their new home too. 🏡💛 Though she shared that the registration process was a little tiring, the highlight of her day was meeting her supervisor and having meaningful discussions about her studies. 📚🌟

Here’s to a smooth and successful journey ahead, Alaa — both inside and #BeyondTheClassroom 🚀✨

  • Welcome Aini 🌟—exploring her study options at #MonashUniversityMalaysia! 🎓✨

After her brother Rishaan’s recent registration at APU, it was Aini’s turn to discover what studying in Malaysia could look like. Together with her family and Team #EMGA, she toured the Monash campus, checked out accommodation, and got a real glimpse of student life here. 💙

And of course, no visit would be complete without some local flavors — we introduced them to the classic Nasi Ayam and Milo Ais combo, which was an instant hit! 🍚🥤

We can’t wait to welcome Aini back soon to begin her Malaysian study journey — inside the classroom and #BeyondTheClassroom 🚀💛

  • Big welcome to Vihaan 🌟—starting his academic journey at #APU! 🎓✨

Team #EMGA supported Vihaan with his university registration, medical appointment, and even helped him explore off-campus accommodation options to ensure a smooth start. 🏡💙

As the only one in his family venturing abroad to study in Malaysia, this is a big step — and Vihaan is ready to make the most of it! He’ll be spending the next few days discovering the sights and experiences around Klang Valley before fully diving into student life. 🇲🇾✨

All the best, Vihaan! Wishing you success in your studies and unforgettable moments both inside and #BeyondTheClassroom 🚀💛

  • A busy but rewarding week for Aung Htoo Khant at #APU! 🎓💪

Fresh out of one exam and already rushing to the next — it’s definitely exam week hustle mode for him. 💨 Despite the busy schedule, he shared that he’s happy with his studies and settling in well.

We also handed over his #FreeFlightTicket cash rebate 💵✈️ — a little boost to keep the momentum going during this hectic period. Wishing him all the best for the rest of his exams! 📚💪

  • Kicking off a new chapter for Khader 🌟—now pursuing his Bachelor of Chemical Engineering at #UKM Bangi! 🎓✨

It’s his very first time studying abroad, and with Team #EMGA by his side, everything went smoothly — from registration to medical check-ups ✅. To top it off, we treated ourselves to lunch at the viral spot in Bangi, Mak Kimbong 🍛🔥 (his second time there in just two days — that’s how good it is!).

Extra special thanks to Ms. Iffah, a proud UKM alumni herself, who shared some insider campus spots and made the experience even more meaningful 💙. Khader was super happy to finally meet us in person, and he left feeling confident, supported, and ready to begin this exciting journey.

He was truly happy to finally meet us in person and very satisfied with the support received. He even said he will definitely recommend Team #EMGA to others 🙌. We can’t wait to see Khader thrive and shine bright at UKM! ✨

Big welcome to Anas, Afnanuddin, and Ahmed, who just touched down in Malaysia today! 🇲🇾✈️ Thanks to APU’s airport pickup team, they were brought straight to campus for registration and orientation.

Despite the long journey, the trio looked refreshed and full of excitement from the moment they arrived. They hit it off instantly — even asking to stay together throughout the whole process. A great start to their study adventure, and surely the beginning of a strong friendship ahead! 💙
