Taking all of your courses remotely is very different from being on campus. It will impact the way you learn, interact, and participate in various extracurricular activities, and so it's important to find ways to keep healthy while studying remotely. If you are an international student, you also have to consider time zone adjustments.
Consider our tips for a digital semester, and remember to always reach out for support if you need it!
