It’s easy to take the student services offered by your university for granted, but services such as counselling or career coaching can be painfully expensive out in the ‘real world’, and can make a huge difference to your wellbeing and personal development. So, make sure you are familiar with all of the services available to you on campus – starting with these seven amazing student services that every student should check out!
1. Career counselling
Attending career counselling workshops at your university is the perfect way to explore your motivations and assets, the skills you could offer a business, and careers you would be a good match for. Career counselling is especially useful if you aren’t quite sure which direction to head in. It will help you discover new options and decide on a pathway. Your university careers center can also help you when applying for jobs, searching for internships or contacting alumni in your sector.
2. Campus healthcare
Some universities offer a student medical service on campus with flexible appointments, telephone consultations, walk-ins and healthcare professionals dedicated to assisting students. Whether you’d like advice on contraception or are suffering from a bout of “Freshers’ flu”, your campus nurse or doctor should put you at ease so that you feel comfortable speaking freely about any medical issues bothering you. International students (both EU and other) at UvA are entitled to use the university doctors, as long as they have health insurance in place.
