How do I stay mentally healthy in these Corona times?
These are difficult times for everyone! The measures introduced by the government mean that all education by Tilburg University this year will be provided online and as much as possible on campus. We can imagine that this is difficult for some students. The measures require a lot of flexibility from everyone. Especially because you hardly have contact with your study mates and it is also hardly possible to visit our campus.
Many students are at home with family or live with fellow students. Also, there are students far away from home and their families. This is hardly a pleasant situation for anyone. On this page you will find tips and advice to get through this period as well as possible.
How do you maintain the social distance as well as possible?
Tilburg University is doing its best to continue its educational activities online, and on campus as much as possible. For you as a student, it is also important that you try to follow as closely as possible the subject matter offered to you and keep up with your studies in that way. This requires a lot of discipline and flexibility.
To help you with this, you will find a number of tips below. Univers has tested a number of tips from this page. Watch this video (with English subtitles) to see how you liked it...
