Muhammad's advice

“Enjoy your time at University. Get involved with societies to help with your communication and make friends. At the same time attend your lectures! Understand what the lecturers are saying, understand the basics of everything and don't just learn things to pass exams. If you learn the basics you'll go a long way, if you don't learn the basics you'll forget everything after the exams.”
