Curiosity and Intellectual Wellbeing

Students’ minds are constantly being taught and challenged, but it can be hard to maintain genuine intellectual curiosity in the midst of so much grueling coursework. Whether you feel bogged down by assignments or are just interested in finding new ways to stimulate your brain, here are some tips for feeding your curiosity and enhancing your intellectual wellbeing:

• Explore a museum with free student tickets
• Go to the theater or ballet with student tickets
• Use the Duolingo app to learn a new language
• Meet with your academic adviser
• Attend your professors’ office hours
