Living as a Grad Student

Being a grad student can be hard, especially as an international student. Tips from Agustinus as an ex-international student (3rd world --> first world):

  1. Learn personal finance. In-order finance ==> less stress ==> higher probability to succeed in study.
  2. Take care of your health.
    • Go to the gym. You already paid for it.
    • Train both cardio and strength. This is gender-agnostic.
    • Eat healthy. Protein, fiber. Beans are amazing.
  3. Listen to podcast.
    • Cal Newport's is the most important for this context.
  4. Take advantage of campus facilities.
    • You already paid for them.
