- Try the Pomodoro Technique for Focus
Instead of marathon study sessions, give the Pomodoro Technique a go. Study for 25 minutes, then take a 5-minute break. After four sessions, take a longer break. This method keeps you fresh and focused, helping you get more done without burning out. ⏲️
- Snack Smartly and Start the Day Right with Breakfast Club
Fuel your brain with healthy snacks like fruit, nuts, and yoghurt to stay sharp during study sessions. And don’t forget our Free Breakfast Club to start your day off right! A healthy breakfast gives you the energy you need to tackle those morning lectures. 🥐☕🍎
- Use the University Library for Extra Resources
While your room at Orlando Village is a great place to study, don’t forget about the University of Bolton library, just a short walk away. With loads of academic resources and quiet study zones, it’s perfect for when you need specialist materials or extra focus. 📖🏫
- Study with Friends for Accountability
Group study can be a great way to stay motivated. Invite friends to join you in your room or the cinema room at Orlando Village, where you can share notes, quiz each other, and stay accountable. Studying with friends can make learning more fun and effective! 👩🎓👨🎓
- Take Regular Breaks and Join Our Craft Sessions
Remember to take breaks to stay refreshed and sharp. A quick walk around the block or a jog to the university will help you reset. Orlando Village also hosts fun events like craft sessions—a perfect way to take a creative break, relax, and meet new friends! 🎨🚶♂️
By following these study hacks, you’ll get the most out of your time at Orlando Village, Bolton’s top student accommodation. Whether you’re heading to the University of Bolton or enjoying a day trip to Manchester, you’re perfectly placed to study hard, have fun, and succeed! 🎓🌟
