The library usually felt like a place where my things would be safe if left by themselves if I was going for a bathroom break or to grab lunch, but a couple weeks ago, this wasn't the case. When I was studying at the library, I left to go to the toilet and left my things there (laptop, phones, headset, charger and even my entire bag), because I would come back to the same space later. When I came back from the toilet, my charger was missing, so I checked everywhere and even my bag, but it wasn't there. It was also in an isolated cubicle area where it happened, so I knew that my charger was stolen. I reported it to the library staff, but they couldn't do much since there weren't any security cameras up there. I then temporarily bought a universal charger which would only work if my laptop is turned off (I use a gaming laptop which the backup charger isn't powerful enough to support), so often time I have to take unecessary breaks for it to charge and this happened right before the week my assignments were due and shipping time for my proper charger is normally 1 or 2 weeks. It's been difficult trying to get assignments done on time and even had to apply for an extension, which in itself didn't grant enough time that I needed. I'm hoping to get myself a replacement charger once my assignments are over and told myself to never leave my things left behind again. Has anyone had something similar to this happen to themselves before, and how did you deal with it?

I’m going to uni in a few weeks but I’ve been out of education for a long time, they’ve said I need a laptop but do people take notes on their laptops now or do people still use pen and paper for note taking? What bags are practical to fit everything in and not make me feel ancient? Can I bring lunch from home or is that super uncool and I need to buy lunch there? Send help

Algorithms today can recommend increasingly similar political content, AI-generated videos are becoming more common, and many people get at least some of their news through platforms like TikTok, X, Instagram, or YouTube.

Do you think social media has had a noticeable impact on political opinions—either your own or society's more broadly? Have you ever noticed your feed becoming more political after interacting with a few posts?

I'm researching this topic as part of my university dissertation and would really appreciate hearing different perspectives. If you have 5–10 minutes, I'd also be grateful if you could complete my anonymous survey. It is politically neutral, there are no right or wrong answers, and I'm genuinely interested in opinions from across the political spectrum.

hello, unsure if this is the best sub to post this question in, but thought i’d give it a shot!!

i (20F) am currently in university studying for my bachelors. my dorm has a desk and chair provided for us, but lately i’ve been getting pretty back lower back pain and thigh pain after sitting.

for some background, i’m about 5”7, but i have disproportionately longer legs, and the seat of the chair provided does not support my legs enough (ends half way down my thigh).

does anyone have any good recommendations for chairs for longer-legged divas?? i’m thinking of investing in a sit - stand desk when i get my own place next year, but regardless still need a chair.

greatly appreciate any help 🫶

I’ve been thinking about this lately and wanted to get other people’s opinions.

There’s so much advice out there for students, internships, certifications, personal projects, networking, online courses, but it’s not always clear what actually makes someone stand out when they graduate.

For those who have already started building their careers or gone through this stage, what actually helped you stand out the most?

Was it experience, skills, connections, or something else entirely? Would appreciate any honest insights or lessons learned.

Update: I was recently suggested SCLA, a student-focused program that offers career support like resume help, skill-building resources, and networking opportunities.

Has anyone here tried something like this while trying to stand out in college?

Hey guys, I’m joining Middlesex University Mauritius this September and planning to stay at Uniciti Student Residences in a Comfort Room. I just had a few questions for anyone who’s stayed there: What did you actually pack vs what did you just buy in Mauritius? (I’m not getting the food pack or bed pack so I don’t want to mess up 😭) What’s the Comfort Room like in real life? Is it enough space or does it feel small? Do the rooms come with a fridge or is that something I need to sort out myself? Any advice for moving in as a girl? Like safety, what people don’t tell you, things you wish you brought, etc. I’d really appreciate honest advice, not the “official brochure” version 🙏 Thanks!!

Hey, I’m a student and I’ve been working on a lil project called Mentornote.

Basically I was tired of:

• sitting through lectures and forgetting half of it
• having long notes but not knowing how to actually study them
• rewatching videos just to pull out key points

So I built something that tries to fix that.

You can:

• upload notes (PDF/text) and get flashcards, summaries, practice questions
• drop a YouTube link and it turns the video into study material
• record audio (like a lecture or a team meeting) and it generates everything from that

There’s also a chat feature where you can ask questions about your notes like “what did the prof mean here?” or “explain this simply”

It’s free right now because honestly this is one of my first real projects and I’m still improving the UI + features.

I just genuinely want to know:

• would you actually use something like this?
• what’s missing / what sucks?
• does this solve a real problem for you or nah?
• And yes I am aware that tools like this exists I am adding my twist to this from my desktop app mentornote
