Northumbria University Eco Friendly Action/Aims-
Northumbria University Environmental Sustainability
We are a Hedgehog friendly campus.
We have Sustainability groups in every department to discuss how we can be more eco conscious at work.
We have reduced the size of our prospectus to our new mini guide size in order to reduce the quantity of paper needed.
We suggest how you can be eco friendly too -
Walking to school rather than being dropped off is a fantastic way to reduce emissions.
If you can, plant some wildflowers in your garden to attract bees.
Instead of buying plastic bottles to take to school look into buying a reusable bottle that you can refill at school.

Top Tips for Students
Write yourself a to-do list as this will allow you to prioritise which work to do first and will help you be more organised.
Make sure you have a work/life balance, set yourself targets for the day and once you've completed them plan something fun to do.
Before revising buy an egg timer. This will help you revise using the Pomodoro Technique, where you revise for 25 minutes and then have a short beak in a block of four and then have a longer break. This will help you keep motivated.
When thinking which University to pick it's important to think about what is most important to you. Is it the facilities (Sport or Subject), the type of university (City or Campus) or/and the location of the University?
When choosing your course it's important to look at the University websites to see what modules you will be taught and whether it's something you're really interested in.
Make the most out of every experience and look for extra activities to get involved with at your University, whether it's a society, a sport, work experience, a placement or a study abroad year (where applicable).
