What you can ask
You can ask the students many different kinds of questions, for example:
Library questions
- How do I re-borrow or reserve a book?
- How do I access e-books or articles online?
- Which of the library’s guides are suitable to support me in searching for scientific material?
IT questions
- How do I download the essay template into Word?
- How do I print?
- What programmes are available for students to download? ¨
Questions about academic reading and writing
- I have difficulty reading academic texts, are there any strategies to try?
- I need to improve the language and structure of my texts. Do you have any tips?
- It is difficult to know how to take notes during a lecture. How do I get started?
If you do not get an answer to your question, the student workers can help you get in touch with the relevant support function at the University.
The students who will help you
You will meet student assistants who have been students for a while and are studying different programmes and courses. Most of them are also comfortable answering your question in English.
Adam Blombacke, student assistant
Which programme are you studying and which year?
“Applied Artificial Intelligence (AI), second year.”
How long have you been with Student to student?
“About a year and a half.”
What can you help other students with?
“Anything related to IT, but also information about Halmstad or the University itself.”
What are your best study tips?
“Actually put in the hours to study, even if it feels redundant. And don't forget to take breaks when you need to!”
What is your best tip for a new student?
“Don't let school take over your life. Make time for socialising and going to events. There are also lots of fun clubs for all kinds of interests, which is very rewarding.”
Maja Knutsson, student assistant
Which programme are you studying and which year?
“Biomedicine – Exercise Physiology, second year.”
How long have you been a part of Student to Student?
“I started in January 2025, so after the first semester.”
What can you help other students with?
“We can help you find course literature and search for articles. To a certain extent, we also help you read through your work and provide feedback, but we mainly offer general study tips and can answer all kinds of questions. We also help new students find their way around campus.”
What are your best study tips?
“Above all, keep up with the lectures, take notes and then go through your notes afterwards. Then you can sit down with a group or a friend and discuss them. I think that helps a lot.”
What is the best tip for a new student?
“Dare to ask questions! It’s not easy being new, and you can feel a little nervous. We've all been new at some point.”
“Don’t stress yourself out at the beginning. Lectures can seem overwhelming at first, but it gets better with time.”
