Hello,

Here I<code>ll write some of my insights and lessons I gained trough my search and study periods. I hope they</code>ll be helpful.

Read, understand and apply.

<ol>
<li> Most important: Don<code>t pick a course before knowing that you want it wholeheartedly. You probably heard it a dozen times but do you apply it? What is the purpose of studying? Probably to work in your dream job afterwards. If you get a degree you didn</code>t want wholeheartedly will you get that job?</li>
<li> Find out everything about university you want got to [Scholarships, guarantees, offers. Everything that would be useful to you]. I didn`t do that and missed some great opportunities

  • Clear up any doubt you have.
  • Ask, ask, ask. Adviser purpose to asnwer all your questions. Use it. It doesn`t matter how stupid your question sounds. </li> <li> Don<code>t buy learning material.You can borrow almost everything from local libraries or friends. Don</code>t forget, that you can find almost anything on the internet. You just need to search correctly.</li> <li> Before applying, get in touch with student from that university/degree and have a chat with him. Personal feedback is always better than dry information</li> <li> Start managing your time now. You`ll need it while studying
  • Do/learn only what is essential and really important. Use Pareto principle 80/20%. Youll get millions of information but dont absorb everything. It`s waste of time. </li> <li> Learn accelerated learning techiques. They are brilliant time savers</li> <li>Don<code>t believe everything you read on university webpage. Maybe it</code>s not a lie but they definitely don`t say everything. Speak with students instead
  • If you have a chance, communicate with professors.
  • If you`ve learnt smth new, apply it immediately. Active learning is a hundred times better then passive.</li> <li>If you have questions about new material ask person who is profesional in that field. Maybe your relatative or friend? </li> </ol>
