Settling into uni life isn’t only about understanding lectures and assignments. A lot of students face financial pressure at uni which affects their studies. The Library provides many opportunities to learn from experts and use a range of facilities and collection resources to help ease the pressure.
- Expert advice. Learning skills advisers and librarians offer drop-in sessions at every library on the different campuses - you can find the hours here. They can help you with note-taking, essay-writing, citing and referencing, and more. English Connect through Peer Support (co-located in the libraries) can also help with your grammar -- something many students struggle with. Find out more https://www.monash.edu/english-connect
