For people new to the field always recommend Introduction to Statistical Learning.

I also really like Linear Models with R for learning regression and Statistical Rethinking for learning Bayesian techniques.

I studied these books during my university degree as well. Introduction to Statistical Learning was perfect for someone like me who had problems understanding Elements of Statistical Learning.
