Grandma Bete teaches the freshmen at the University of Coimbra how to survive their first year
Entering the University of Coimbra can be a challenge for any new student, but the university found an unconventional way to help freshmen adjust to academic life. The university created a program that involves experienced figures to guide students arriving at the institution for the first time.
Among these figures, Grandma Bete stands out—a grandmother who shares her wisdom with new students. Her role is to teach freshmen how to survive their first year, offering practical advice and emotional support to young people facing this important transition in their lives.
The University of Coimbra's initiative aims to facilitate students' integration, recognizing that the first months at university can be particularly challenging. Through this approach, the institution seeks to create a warmer and more supportive environment for all those beginning their academic journey.
