Got it over with all the exams. Managed to get to the university that I wanted, and got it state funded too, which is great because my family is kinda broke. Thing is, I can go back to having to pay for it if I don't maintain the standard. That implies learning a lot.

From what I noticed, it is generally frowned upon here not to use the time in uni to network, as it will be very important later.

How do I manage to combine the two? Graduates usually tell horror stories how you usually have to choose between either learning properly or a social life.

Tell me your university lifehacks if you figured out any, even if somewhat unrelated to the specific question.
