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!

  • Say hello to Adib, our newest student at #UOC! 🎉✈️

It’s his first time traveling solo but not his first Malaysian adventure. With family in Sabah & Sarawak and a Diploma from Miri, Adib’s no stranger to the #MalaysianExperience 🇲🇾✨

Despite 23 students ahead, he managed to slot in for his medical check-up, got registered, submitted his passport, and still had time to cool down with ice cream the #MalaysianKnowsBest way! 🍦☀️

Now all set to begin his journey with #EMGA, ready to go #BeyondTheClassroom.

  • Say hello to Zakarya and Abdulmalek, two fresh faces at APU who are already settling in like pros! 🎓✌️ They both received cash rebates for their #FreeStudentVisa and even share the same accommodation — yup, all set up smoothly by us so they didn’t have to stress a thing. 🏡✨

It’s always nice seeing students arrive together, and even better when they click this well from day one. From unpacking bags to navigating campus life — these two are in it together. 🔥

Wishing them the best as they kickstart their student journey here in Malaysia — it’s only the beginning! 💛

  • Welcoming Yaqoob and Sayed Rehan from Kuwait — students we first met back during Ramadhan at the #Yes2Malaysia Expo, and today they’re finally here in Malaysia, all settled in and ready to begin their aviation journey! ✈️🇲🇾

They explored the Hangar for the first time with Ms Nisa, tried local favourites like masak lemak daging salai and asam pedas (which they loved, even with the heat! 🔥), and got their medical check-ups done.

These two have been friends since Grade 10, and now they’re kicking off this new chapter together at the same university. Classes start next week on the 27th — and we know they’re going to fly high, literally and academically! 💛

Here’s to a smooth takeoff, boys — your #MalaysianExperience is just beginning, and it’s going to be full of flavour, fun, and moments that go way #BeyondTheClassroom.

  • Say hello to Neil, our bright and beaming MUFY student at #SunwayUniversity! 🌞✨ From the moment he arrived, Neil brought along his humble charm, positive energy, and of course — that contagious smile that lights up the room 😄

Even before Orientation Day kicked off, Neil already had a circle of friends from the MUFY and CIMP programmes — talk about social skills unlocked! 🧑‍🤝‍🧑💬 He’s excited to begin this new chapter and we’re beyond proud of his confidence and kindness.

Also big shoutout to his super sporting dad who joined us for a quick lunch at a Muslim Chinese spot while Neil got busy with orientation 🍜🇨🇳 Family support = top-tier Malaysian vibes ❤️

All the best, Neil! Keep being you — and keep that smile going strong! 🫶
