Enjoy your college years at Nest

College life can be exciting, rewarding, and memorable, but it can also be stressful, challenging, and overwhelming. You’ve got to adjust with living independently for the first time in your life, managing your time, meeting deadlines, studying for exams, and planning your future career.

How can you cope with all these pressures and still enjoy your college years?

Well, research has shown that music, the visual arts, and sports are linked with academic strength and social well-being. So a healthy way to balance your academic and personal life is to take part in activities that interest, inspire, and relax you – and you don’t have to be good at it either, just enjoy it!

So whether you’d like to fiddle with instruments, belt out some tunes, try your hand at painting abstracts, or check out gaming, engaging in activities can help you reduce stress, boost your mood, enhance your creativity, and improve your overall skills.

Within Sharjah itself, you can attend, volunteer or participate at various festivals and events that celebrate the culture and diversity of the region. You can also explore a variety of museums and art galleries that showcase the history, heritage, and creativity of Sharjah and sign up for classes or workshops.

At Sharjah college campuses, you have plenty of options to choose from. You can join one of the many student clubs that cater to different hobbies, passions, and causes.

However, if you live on campus, you may feel that you have fewer options to enjoy these activities, especially if you live in a traditional dormitory or hostel. You may have limited space, facilities, and privacy to pursue your interests and hobbies. You may also have difficulty making friends, socializing, and having fun with other students.

If you’re seeking off-campus housing, consider living in Nest, the Middle East’s premier student accommodation complex located at Aljada, Sharjah’s landmark development that offers everything you need in one place.

Nest is just five minutes away from University City, where you can find some of the best universities in the region, such as the University of Sharjah, the American University of Sharjah, and Skyline University College.
