Academic Coaching: How to Build Academic Confidence, Support Your Wellbeing and Grow Through Transitions

Every student's journey at Brown is unique, and it's important to learn what that path can look like for you. Yet, it is entirely natural to wonder how your path compares to others, especially to that one roommate who magically wakes up at 7 AM to hit the gym, takes five classes, and seems to have it all together. Are you ready to discover what thriving looks like on your own terms? In this episode, we unpack the reality of academic well-being and the myth of the "perfect student" that lead to imposter syndrome. We are joined by Emily Collins Garcia, International Student Advisor, and special guest Julia, an international student from Brazil, to discuss the real process of transitioning to life at Brown University. From managing heavier course loads and navigating new classroom expectations to overcoming language and cultural barriers, this conversation is all about giving yourself grace.
