Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.
RULES
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including all information that can initiate conversations when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
- Keep it clean and SFW
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.
- No support questions. See !techsupport@lemmy.world

MODERATORS
Caveat: I got my last degree a couple of years before AI took off. I would consider any advice through whether the person offering has a lens of pre or post AI.
The advice I'm confident would apply to both is to take advantage of study resources. Meaning open office hours? Go to them. Professor's aide is offering extra lecture sessions? Go to them. Dormmates forming a casual study group? Join. Discussion forces depth of thinking that passive consumption doesn't.
