University Student Life - 10 Tips For Living Away From Home

By Carl Messenger-Lehmann


You've already shown you can make good decisions by choosing to attend Brock University. This is the first of many decisions you will have to make during your university life. Studentlofts.ca wants to help make at least one decision an easy one - where should you live? We know student life is hard work, but finding the perfect place to live shouldn't be.

There have also been studies showing that looking at nature creates a reduction in stress and has a calming and relaxing effect. This in turn can cause an increase in memory retention and concentration. What university student wouldn't want nature's help in producing higher quality work? Plant life can also have a positive effect on your mental health. Beautiful landscapes are associated with a higher quality of life. Observing the beauty of nature can help you have a positive outlook on life. Braided Ficus Tree - because of our high ceilings and spacious interiors, these trees are a perfect fit. Only needing water every 2-3 days, it will live happily in the corner of a room with a window for some indirect sunlight. Cacti - one of the easiest indoor plants to care for, they come in many shapes and sizes. Keep them in a window for plenty of sunlight to get through and do not water until the pot is dry. Succulent - the perfect plant for a beginner, they are practically indestructible. They need indirect sunlight and because they store water similar to the cacti, you only need to water them once every other month.

Chinese Evergreen - the perfect accent plant that can tolerate low to bright light as long as it is not direct sunlight. When the top inch of soil is dry it is time to add water. But do not over water because this greenery is susceptible to root rot. Yellowing under leaves is a sign of not enough water. Aspidistra - known as the cast-iron plant because it is tough as nails, this leafy green can handle any light except for direct sunlight. The less light is is exposed to the water it needs, so be careful not to overfill.

Relaxing: When it's been a long day of exams and you just want to sit back and relax, do so in our 45 seat movie theatre in front of the 220″ movie screen. The HD projector and surround sound are sure to aid in immersing you in the plot of the movie, helping the day melt away.

Stay connected to home. Talk to family and friends on a regular basis. They want to hear how you're doing at school so make it a regular habit to connect with loved ones. Ask for help if you need it. This adjustment isn't always easy, but help is available. If you're struggling emotionally, talk to a counselor or friend. If academics are harder than you thought, look for a tutor or speak to your professor about extra help.
