Study Together

Looking for study company and a reason to be on campus?

Join our Study Together Group, where you can work on your own studies in a relaxed yet focused atmosphere. At the same time, you'll get to try the Pomodoro Technique, a time management method that uses a timer to break work into intervals.

🔍 What do we do in the group?
Each participant works independently on their own study tasks – such as writing assignments, exam prep, or reading. Group facilitators guide the Pomodoro sessions and support smoother studying.
