You can\u2019t bear the thought of returning to the library-brown corridors of the university after a long summer break now that the weather gods have finally promised good weather?<\/p>\n

No need to despair. The University of Copenhagen has loads of parks and green areas that are excellent for introductory beers and late summer homework.<\/p>\n

TIP: Watch out for Amorphophallus titanum, which continues to be the subject of particular attention. The plant is better known as the corpse flower, or in Danish the penis flower, due to its phallic-like design. It blooms only for a few days every several years, then smelling, according to reports, of rotten meat. Now you have a story to impress your fellow students on your park tour.
\n<\/p>\n

The romantic one: Landboh\u00f8jskolen Garden<\/h2>\n

In the old agricultural college in the quiet Frederiksberg district is a quiet set of university gardens. Forget the failed pickup lines in the Friday bar and invite your crush on a tour of the Landboh\u00f8jskolen Garden. The park is laid out in the style of classic romanticism, and with more than 6,000 plant varieties, there are enough conversation topics for even the most inexperienced daters.<\/p>\n

In the garden you will find the cozy V\u00e6ksthuset caf\u00e9 where the barista brewed coffee is so good that the place has won the University Post prize for the University of Copenhagen\u2019s best coffee shop.<\/p>\n

As a bonus, the V\u00e6ksthuset is run by volunteers from the Faculty of Science, and your study card gives you discounts on coffee and food. If the date really ends well you can finish off with a bottle of ros\u00e9 for DKK 179.<\/p>\n

TIP: In the middle of the garden there is a small footbridge over a park lake. Pure H. C. Andersen, and the perfect place to gather up your courage for that first kiss.
\n<\/p>\n

The party one: University park<\/h2>\n

Universitetsparken <\/em>on North Campus is the epicenter of the annual Spring Festival. Pre-pandemic, more than 12.000 sociable students and employees participated in the festivities.<\/p>\n

But the university park, Universitetsparken, is always worth a visit.<\/p>\n

The park is relatively informal with its flat lawns well suited to games like softball and beer bowling. In the bright sun, a trip to the university park can be a good way to relax and spend the day with new or old classmates. Incidentally: Volunteers planted more than 10,000 wild plants in the university park in 2016. So the place is also for you with green fingers.
\n<\/p>\n

The hidden one: Sun garden Solhaven<\/em> at CSS city campus<\/h2>\n

The Center for Health and Society (CSS) campus in the city is steeped in history and leather-bound books. So much that we sometimes forget that the brown-yellow buildings and associated gardens right up to 1995 were used as a municipal hospital and not as a university campus.<\/p>\n

Tucked away in a corner of CSS you will find Solhaven<\/em> – easiest to access via the entrance at Gammeltoftsgade – unless you want to test your sense of direction in the labyrinthine CSS hallways.<\/p>\n

On most days, it is dead quiet, but during intro weeks and on the CSS campus day it is full speed ahead. Enjoy a cup of coffee from the Caf\u00e9 Kommunen at CSS, or walk in to the all-day opening hours political science bar Jacques D and take out a couple of beers out into the lovely garden.
\n<\/p>\n

The edible one: Pometet<\/h2>\n

We admit that the Pometet with its Taastrup location is not a simple getaway after class. But the Pometet with its collection of fruit trees and bushes is a fun, and different tour, to take your fellow students on. The park, which is part of the Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences, exhibits more than 750 varieties of apples and a large number of berry and nuts varieties.<\/p>\n

The one that’s still fresh: SUND Nature Park by the Maersk Building<\/h2>\n

The new landmark of the University of Copenhagen has been covered in prizes since its official opening in January 2019. Prizes for the roof, front, and interior. But the building is more than just the neat shaped bronze tower. It is also a green area, created for the students to get fresh air to the brain, especially in the warm late summer.<\/p>\n

Panum’s old parking lots between N\u00f8rre All\u00e9 and Blegdamsvej has been shut down and replaced by poppies and cornflowers, tall grass and exotic species of plants.
\n<\/p>\n

The modern one: Karen Blixens Plads on South Campus<\/h2>\n

\u00bbKUA is a place where the spirit cannot thrive\u00ab. This was the harsh verdict on the old KUA buildings from Professor of Comparative Literature, Erik A. Nielsen, back in 1995. But that was then. Twenty years later KUA, which is now called South Campus, no longer exhibit the gray shades of drab asphalt.<\/p>\n

Strictly speaking, there is no park at South Campus – yet.\u00a0 But a winner among students is Karen Blixens Plads.<\/p>\n

Who said that the island of Amager could not be charming?

Danish stress record<\/h3>\r\n32 per cent of university students say they have dealt with stress during the first semester of their education. The survey participants were asked six months after they started their studies. Students at Danish universities are more likely to be stressed than students from other types of educational institutions.\r\n<div class=\"factbox\">\r\n<p class=\"factbox-header feature-color\">This is how we did it<\/p>\r\nThe data has been retrieved from a number of studies, mainly by the Danish trade unions <strong>DJ\u00d8F <\/strong>and <strong>DM<\/strong>.\r\n\r\nIn addition, some statistics have been provided by the <strong>University of Copenhagen.<\/strong>\r\n\r\nSome data comes from elsewhere \u2013 like <strong>DR <\/strong>and<strong> Uddannelseszoom.<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe data is, in all cases, <strong>the latest available.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<h3>7.7 per cent experiment with drugs<\/h3>\r\n7.7 per cent of Danish students experiment with performance enhancing drugs in the course of their studies. Some studies include caffeine pills. Others do not. But this said, setting up an IV line with coffee running through it is not to be recommended.\r\n<h3>Congestion and hassle at uni<\/h3>\r\nDo you find that it has become more difficult to get through the lobby? And have the queues for the coffee become suspiciously longer since last time? If so, you are not the only one. Half of students reckon that there is more congestion at their place of study over the past few years. This year (in the wake of the university corona lockdown in the spring of 2020) more new students have been admitted than ever before. Classroom distancing guidelines are, as a minimum, expected.\r\n<h3>They insist on top (or inflated) grades<\/h3>\r\nHalf of Danish university students find it difficult to be satisfied with anything less than two digits on the 12-scale Danish grade sheet. And there is, of course, nothing wrong with that. If it was not because it is also linked to increased stress indicators. They also find it hard to take time off, and some are reluctant to take part in class for fear of appearing stupid.\r\n<h3>Drink a lot<\/h3>\r\nMake no mistake, Danish young people still swim in beer and they are still European champions [secretimage face=\"in alcohol consumption\" imageid=\"63863\"]. But studies have shown that their alcohol consumption is declining rapidly. But Danish students in longer and medium-length higher education programmes drink significantly more than other young people, Danes and otherwise. This means that they also drink more than their friends in other types of education programmes.\r\n<h3>28 Chlamydia diagnoses<\/h3>\r\nUniversity cities (and for some reason the towns of Gentofte, and Kolding) are some of the Danish locations most plagued by the sexually transmitted chlamydia. If you want to avoid the itch, you can move out to the island of \u00c6r\u00f8, which has the lowest number of chlamydia diagnoses. While Copenhagen has 28 chlamydia cases per 1,000 inhabitants, \u00c6r\u00f8 is laid back (likely with a condom on) on 8,5 cases.\n<!-- end of module 1 -->\n<h3>Rent is expensive<\/h3>\r\nIt is no secret that the Copenhagen housing market is overheated and expensive. If Danes are not fortunate enough to have rich parents or a dorm room, they will have to take up the fight on the housing market. And this is no cakewalk. By comparing rent and the latest Danish SU student grant payout level, one of the authors of this article reached the conclusion that she \u2013 on average \u2013 would have to pay 102 per cent of her SU (after tax) for a room in Copenhagen. A one-bedroom apartment would cost 155 per cent of a Danish SU student grant.\r\n<h3>Only 4 per cent of UCPH graduates actively apply to the public sector<\/h3>\r\nWhen Danes after 5+ years finally get their master's degree, the city council is not that appealing. Half of University of Copenhagen (UCPH) graduates want to get in to the private sector, and just under half are indifferent as to whether they end up in the private or public sector. This leaves an underwhelming 4 per cent of graduates who actively seek a public sector job.\r\n<h3>78 per cent have student jobs<\/h3>\r\nIf you are a Danish student, you probably have some kind of student job. 78 per cent of students do, in fact, have one. And this is far more than just five years ago. More graduate students have a job than undergraduate students, and 75 per cent of the students says that their job is relevant to their studies.\r\n<h3>For their thesis, they get 9.6 on their Danish grade scale<\/h3>\r\nThe average grade for Danish master\u2019s theses is 9.6. Female students generally get better grades than their male counterparts. Some things suggest that it is smart for Danes to continue on from their bachelor\u2019s to their master\u2019s degrees, if they want to come out with an impressive grade. Thesis grades are, paradoxically, higher than bachelor\u2019s grades.\r\n<h3>Theology has the best study environment in Copenhagen<\/h3>\r\n3.9. This is how the students at the Faculty of Theology rank their own programme on a 5-point scale. Students at the Faculty of Humanitites rank their programme with a 3.8 out of 5. the Faculty of Health and Medicial Science has a ranking of 3.6, just like the Faculty of Law.\n<!-- end of module 2 -->\n<h3>61.4 per cent female students<\/h3>\r\nAbout 60\/40 to the ladies: This is the gender distribution at UCPH. Only at the Faculty of Science are there more men than women enrolled, and men are overrepresented in subjects like economics, philosophy and musicology. Women, on the other hand, rule South Campus. At the Faculty of Humanities, the gender distribution is closer to 70\/30.\r\n<h3>10.2 per cent drop out<\/h3>\r\nIf Danes complete their first year of a course, they can give themselves a well-earned pat on the back. More than one in ten bachelor students drop out of their programmes during the first year.\n<!-- end of module 3 -->\n<h3>37.6 weekly hours of study<\/h3>\r\n37.6 hours per week. This is the number of hours that Danish students spend on their study programmes on average. This is pretty close to the 40 hours a week that the Danish Ministry for Education would like to see them using. The number crunchers say that to earn one ECTS credit Danes need 27.5 working hours.\r\n<h3>Love on the study programme<\/h3>\r\n11 per cent of all Danes reportedly met their current partner on their programme of study. This is according to a study that Megafon did for Tjek.dk in 2013.\u00a0 Note: This number is for all Danes, all age groups with some of them long past the studying age, and is for their current partner. What do these numbers show? Not much. Apart from the fact that love does, of course, still happen when you spend hours a day with like-minded people, who are beautiful, young, and who have the same interests as yourself.\n<!-- end of module 4 -->\n<h3>Danish students can look forward to an annual salary of DKK 368,965<\/h3>\r\nWhen Danes are done, they can multiply their generous Danish student grants by five. Graduates from UCPH get DKK 30,497 a month on average (2019 numbers) in their first five years in the labour market. Humanities graduates slightly less; the social sciences graduates slightly more than average.\r\n<h3>Only 38 per cent complete their studies in the prescribed time<\/h3>\r\nPoliticians struggle to push Danish students through their studies within the prescribed time limit. In 2019 only 38 per cent completed their master's degree within the norm.\r\n<h3>Unemployment is not (that) high<\/h3>\r\nWhen the Danish media talk about high unemployment among university degree holders, they are probably talking about <em>graduate<\/em> unemployment, that is, among people who have just graduated. The real unemployment for academic degree holders (prior to the 2020 corona crisis) was around 4 per cent. Graduate unemployment is volatile and always balloons out in August, September and October, when people graduate, and then falls during the course of a year.\r\n<h3>New Danish students are an average of 21.4 years old<\/h3>\r\nA new Danish student is currently an average of 21.4 years old, several years older than most other countries. If you are surrounded by Danish students that are considerably older, chances are they are studying Italian or Theology. Here the average age for starting the programme is 32.9 and 31.6 years respectively. The young guns you will find on the Danish study programmes with high admission grade averages. Both molecular biomedicine and actuarial mathematics are places where people on average are younger than 21.\r\n<h3>22 hours at campus<\/h3>\r\nEven though Danish students spend an average of 37.5 hours per week on their study programmes, they only spend around 22 hours at campus. Coffee breaks and parties included.\n<!-- end of module 5 -->\n","post_title":"20 facts about Danish students","post_excerpt":"Danish students can look forward to an annual salary of DKK 368,965.

Going to language classes is great to get in the basic grammar and vocabulary, for sure. But spending up to six hours a week at a language school can be hardly doable next to uni, a student job, and your social life.\r\n\r\nThis is why the University Post wants to give you advice on how to learn Danish outside a language school. We have also\u00a0talked to two expats who explain how they managed to overcome all their struggles, and we reveal some personal study tips.\n<!-- end of module 1 -->\n<h3>1. Put up sticky notes<\/h3>\r\n[secretimage face=\"Juliane\" imageid=\"59804\"] from Germany came to Denmark when she was fifteen. Back than,\u00a0Juliane was living with a Danish host family on the island of Fyn and attended the first grade of gymnasium. This is the reason why she was kind of forced to learn the language pretty quickly in order to be able to follow the school lessons and properly talk to her classmates.\r\n\r\n\"I didn't attend any language school - the best school for me was my host family. We put up sticky notes all over the house and I slowly began to widen up my vocabulary and to understand more and more - it just came naturally\", says Juliane.\r\n<h3>2. Study Online<\/h3>\r\nIf you are not a great fan of going to a language school, you might consider studying online.\u00a0<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.strokes-international.com\/Daenisch-lernen\/?XTCsid=466e8ebcac1bc8954a956ddf733f6834\">Strokes Danish<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>is a language learning software which offers three levels. Each consists of 100 short lessons including a brief\u00a0dialogue and a handful of vocabulary exercises. You can also do oral exercises as the software will correct your pronunciation. This way you can choose when and, of course for how long, you want to study.\r\n<h3>3. Read Danish News<\/h3>\r\nCatch up on the latest news with\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dr.dk\/ligetil\">DR LigeTil<\/a><\/strong>. This is a Danish news site which is quite easy to read and therefore makes it\u00a0understandable for a broader audience of Danish learners. Each week, you can also do small tests about the articles you have read, to improve your reading comprehension.\r\n<h3>4. Find yourself a Tandem Buddy<\/h3>\r\n<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mylanguageexchange.com\/Search.asp?selCountry=27&selX13=true\">Here<\/a><\/strong> you can find a bunch of different people who are looking for an online \u201clanguage tandem partner\u201d. There are also many Danes who are looking to learn your native language.\u00a0 If you prefer to meet in person, there are also some great <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.meetup.com\/de-DE\/topics\/language-exchange\/dk\/copenhagen\/\">MeetUp Groups<\/a><\/strong> in Copenhagen. That might be a perfect opportunity to also learn a language in a more cosy environment. You might even get a new friendship out of it.\r\n<h3>5. Use what you can<\/h3>\r\nDon\u2019t be shy to try out your Danish Skills in real life. Pull yourself together and use whatever you can, whether you are going to order your coffee in Danish or start greeting your Danish friends and colleagues with a friendly \"Hej,\u00a0hvordan g\u00e5r det?\".\u00a0It will help you get more comfortable with your pronunciation and the language.\r\n\r\nJuliane also says: \"From the very beginning I tried to implement all the Danish words I already knew into my sentences and all my text messages. That really helped a lot to get used to using Danish on a daily basis.\"\r\n<h3><strong>6. Make people correct your language<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nThe last piece of advice for implementing your Danish skills into your daily life is making people correct your language. It might make you feel uncomfortable, but Juliane explains why it is worth it:\r\n\r\n\"I had to do an effort to make people correct my language all the time. I encouraged everyone around me to tell me whenever my grammar or pronunciation was wrong. That was hard for my self-esteem sometimes, but a great help to finally\u00a0get fluent in Danish. You have to be very patient with yourself when learning a language and accept that you constantly feel 'handicapped' because you can't express yourself and show people who you really are. But don't give up - at one point you will feel more confident speaking Danish.\"\r\n<h3>7. Read children's books<\/h3>\r\nEven though you might feel a bit awkward, Juliane also recommends reading children's books. According to her, it really helps to stay motivated as you get the feeling that you can actually read something in Danish without having to look up every second word.\r\n\r\n\"Most of the books I have\u00a0normally previously read in German. It makes it a lot easier when you know what the story is about beforehand. Reading different children's books just really helped me to get used to the Danish language and to learn more Danish words along the way - but without any pressure or homework. So,\u00a0<em>[she starts laughing]<\/em> Harry Potter taught me Danish\", says Juliane.\n<!-- end of module 2 -->\n<h3>8. One day a word<\/h3>\r\nOne word a day is still better than no word a day. With the help of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.innovativelanguage.com\/word-of-the-day\/Danish\"><strong>Word of the day<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0you will learn one new Danish word every day. You can also listen to the pronunciation and try to use the word in a sentence.\r\n<h3>9. Mingling with Danes<\/h3>\r\nThe second expat we have talked to, is [secretimage face=\"Norkka\" imageid=\"59827\"]. She is originally from Peru and came to Denmark 10 years ago.\u00a0Unlike Juliane, Norkka actually went to a language school and found it really helpful in the beginning. Going to the language school was her \"kickstart\" into the Danish language - but not enough to become completely fluent.\r\n\r\n\"Nowadays I am studying and working in Danish.\u00a0Mingling with fellow students or my Danish colleagues is helping me a lot to improve my language everyday. But I still feel I\u2019m learning Danish all the time. Learning Danish will probably always be an ongoing process,\" says Norkka.\r\n<h3>10. Watch something Danish<\/h3>\r\nIf you want to spice up your Danish learning game, you should start watching Danish series. If you are into crime stories, you have to check out\u00a0<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt1733785\/\">Broen,<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0826760\/?ref_=fn_al_tt_2\">Forbrydelsen<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt5180734\/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1\">Gidseltagningen.<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0You might have to concentrate very hard in the beginning, but it will get easier from time to time. It is really satisfying if you notice your own progress and get better in following the plot and understanding the dialogues.\r\n\r\nOf course, you could also watch some Danish YouTubers or find yourself a Danish movie or Danish documentary at <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dr.dk\">DR<\/a>.<\/strong>\r\n<h3>11. Make use of \"undertekster\"<\/h3>\r\nHere comes a quick follow-up on the previous advice on watching something in Danish.\r\n\r\nIn Denmark, there is no\u00a0dubbing - instead we are fortunate to have Danish subtitles. By watching English movies with Danish subtitles, you can pick up on various words or useful phrases. Watching Danish movies and television with Danish \"undertekster\" can help you a lot with building up your vocabulary. Try and let your brain slowly match the language with the on-screen visuals.\n<!-- end of module 3 -->\n<h3>12. Listen to Podcasts<\/h3>\r\nTo really challenge your listening skills you should try listening to Danish podcasts. A good one to start with might be\u00a0Copenhagencast.\u00a0It provides you with functional language and\u00a0clear explanations on when and how to use certain vocabulary, so that you can easily apply it in your daily life - there are loads of everyday phrases which make you sound more \"native\".\r\n\r\nIf you feel your Danish is already more advanced, go and check out\u00a0<strong>Third Ear's<\/strong>\u00a0podcasts by Tim Hinman. This particular podcast is one of the most popular in Denmark. It is all about serialized stories with investigative reporters trying to solve a mystery.\r\n<h3>13. Make it fun: Board Games & Karaoke<\/h3>\r\nWhatever you do, make sure you have fun doing it. Invite some of your friends to play some Danish board games such [secrettext face=\"as Matador\" text=\"Danish version of Monopoly\"].\r\n\r\nNorkka also found a quite amusing way to overcome her Danish\u00a0pronunciation struggles. She says:\r\n\r\n\"It also helped me to learn some Danish songs and sing a lot of karaoke. Believe me, it is real fun and you learn something without feeling you are working hard. I would recommend it to everybody who is struggling learning Danish.\"\r\n<h3>14. Duolingo and Babbel<\/h3>\r\nThanks to recent technology, learning a new language suddenly seems doable. Or at least, apps such as <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/en.duolingo.com\">Duolingo<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/uk.babbel.com\">Babbel<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0are making it a lot easier to learn a language. Duolingo is even for free and you should go and download it now. The sooner the better - before the company gets wise and starts charging.\r\n\r\nEven if you choose to only spend 5-10 minutes each day studying Danish on one of those apps - you will quickly feel a difference. You can also adjust your study time from 5-25 minutes\u00a0towards your personal needs and goals.\r\n\r\nWith those Apps you can not only practice your writing, reading and listening, but also to revise certain vocabulary, grammar or spelling mistakes.\r\n<h3>15. Switch on the Danish radio<\/h3>\r\nTry to listen to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dr.dk\/radio\/\">Danish radio<\/a> on a regular basis or at least make it a thing when you for instance have to clean the apartment, are taking a shower, or cooking dinner. Believe it or not, but you will automatically learn new bits and pieces here and there even if you are only partially following it. It is an easy \u00a0and fun way to surround yourself with the Danish language without putting to much focus on it.\r\n\r\n<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/strange-danish-expressions\/\">Read this article<\/a><\/strong> to\u00a0understand the mysterious words, phrases and expressions in Danish everyday conversation.\n<!-- end of module 4 -->\n","post_title":"How to learn Danish - 15 tips","post_excerpt":"Learning Danish can be fun, but it can also be very frustrating.

Save up<\/h2>\r\nIt costs money to begin at university. Between all the trips to IKEA, the books, and the travel cards for commuting, starting to study can end up being expensive, so it's smart to save up a bit before you take off. There are also expenses for social activities such as introduction week, which you can easily forget on the go \u2013 and all the beers you are going to drink at the Friday bar don\u2019t pay for themselves.\r\n<h2>2. Learn the lingo<\/h2>\r\nOn campus you will hear many new and strange expressions \u2013 they are a part of the particular language code that is used on campus.

You can just drink a tonic without the gin, the important thing is that you spend time with your new classmates and make an effort to get to know them. This community may carry you through the really tough, troubled times of your programme of study \u2013 like having to study for a new exam in methodology.\r\n<h2>4. Have hobbies<\/h2>\r\nExtra-curricular activities can give you back the energy for your daily life. It can be anything from embroidery, to a trip to the practice room, the gym or football pitch, and this will give you significantly less of a bad conscience than a Netflix marathon, and it will make your studies easier. Not everything in your life needs to be about your new study programme, and it's both healthy and nice to take a break and clear your head.\r\n<h2>5. Relax<\/h2>\r\nRemember to \u2018check out\u2019 every now and again, and take a break. Thousands of things happen at the start of your studies, and it's not easy to be both social with your new reading group, and keep up old friendships, while at the same time being a good student and reading up on your entire syllabus. Give yourself breaks and breathers along the way - it's okay. Nobody can do everything all the time \u2013 even if it looks that way on Instagram. It is, seriously, not good to end up as a stress statistic.\r\n<h2>6. Be social<\/h2>\r\nIt might be a good idea to sign up for the Friday bar committee, the book club or any other campus associations. You learn to know the university in a completely different way when you commit to more than just reading the curriculum. It's also a great opportunity to get to know people from other student cohorts and study programmes \u2013 something that might otherwise be difficult.\r\n<h2>7. Study the right way<\/h2>\r\nNow there is no right or wrong way to study. But you could easily be led to imagine that other students sit in the reading room until late into the night while they are at the same time engaged in all the different clubs and\u00a0 associations of their programme, and that this must be the right way to be a university student. It is not. There are as many ways of being a student as there are students. We all tackle uni-life differently and have different priorities and preferences \u2013 and this is perfectly normal!\r\n<h2>8. Drop the grades race<\/h2>\r\nGrades in high school and at university are not the same. Your grades at university do not have the same implications, and you are also assessed on a completely different skills set. So you don\u2019t have to worry about falling down the scale \u2013 most of us do. As long as you try to understand the material, things usually go well. In 2 years\u2019 time (or in 2 months\u2019 time) no one, including yourself, will remember, or care, about whether you got a \u201812\u2019 or a \u20184\u2019 in the first year's exam in science theory.\r\n<h2>9. Use the re-examinations<\/h2>\r\nAt university you usually have three attempts to pass an exam, and there is absolutely no shame in doing a re-examination. You can use the opportunity to redo an exam if you don\u2019t have the opportunity to prepare yourself properly or if you have many exams on top of each other. Re-examination can be a planning tool that reduces the pressure during the exam period. It can give you more peace of mind and can be an opportunity for you to prepare better.\r\n<h2>10. Make demands<\/h2>\r\nYou study at university for your own sake, and so it is legitimate for you to make demands on your fellow students and instructors. You have the right to question \u2013 or complain about \u2013 the decisions of the university, faculty or the decisions of your instructor. Every fifth exam complaint ends up being ruled in favour of the student, so even though it may seem time consuming or bureaucratic, it is not useless. Many of the guidance staff are students themselves and they are there for your sake, so do not hesitate to go to them if you need some advice.\n<!-- end of module 1 -->\n","post_title":"10 things I should have known before I started university","post_excerpt":"Go to re-examination, forget about your grades, and make demands.
