Day 03 为什么大学生难管理时间

1. 今日话题

In your opinion, why is it hard of for university students to manage their time effectively?

2. 示范答案

I think time management is particularly hard of university students because: First of all, many of them lack time management skills. For most students ,daily life before uni is pretty much all planned out of them. There's not much space for them to learn how to manage time on their own.

Also there's more flexibility with the schedule in uni. Unlike in high school, time management in uni is more or less autonomous. Students are on their own when it comes to choosing the right classes and planning their social activities. This can be a little overwhelming for them at the beginning.

In my opinion, university is a period when students learn how to manage their time. I'm sure many students feel that they can manage their time more effectively after uni.
