University is a lot more independent than school

One of the biggest adjustments can be realising that nobody is going to constantly remind you what needs to be done.

You might have lectures, tutorials, readings, discussion boards, assessments and group work all happening at once — and it's largely up to you to keep track of it.

Your university's online learning platform will quickly become your best friend. Check it regularly, keep an eye on assessment due dates and actually read those announcements.

And yes, putting everything into a calendar helps. Future you will thank you.
