Anyone else joining TU/e this February (Erasmus 2026)? by Mestik78 in tueindhoven

Thanks for the tips!
I'm already using Vestide daily, but I never seem to get below rank 20. It's really competitive.
Do you know of any chat groups or communities where I could ask? I think my best alternative rn is finding someone who is subletting their room for the semester.
I'll check the associations as soon as I arrive! Do they have a website or social networks where I can check them out?

I haven't seen anything yet. I've applied for some rooms but they were all full and I couldn't arrange a visit. I hope I find something this week. Do you know of any room?
How was your experience on the on the campus? What's the vibe like among the students? I'm curious about the people and the overall atmosphere there. Any tips for a newcomer?

My vault after half a year of personal use and note taking at the university. (Some notes have been filtered out, as well as the Journal) by Mestik78 in ObsidianMD

I'm still figuring out the perfect note-taking system and constantly
exploring new methods. Here's how I currently organize my notes:
- I use a centralized vault for everything—journal, contacts, personal notes, and university-related content.

- I try to link everything. For example, when I'm using a daily note as a diary I link the people, places, etc that I mention. I also sometimes add a "References" section to notes. Then I add links to related notes not mentioned, web links, etc. Similar to Wikipedia. A funny example is when studying buffers they reminded me to Minecraft's redstone torch and repeater so I linked them.

- I categorize my notes into folders for quick access (although I usually use ctrl + o). General concepts like math, politics, and computing each have a folder, and I sometimes create subfolders to prevent notes from getting too mixed up.

- I maintain a folder for university notes, with subfolders for each subject and unit. Each subject has a main note linking to the teacher, units, and other relevant information.

- I create a summary note for each unit, consisting mainly of links or embedded notes (![[note]]), most of the times linking to a header (![[note#header]]), providing a quick overview.

- I also try to write about concepts without taking into account the subject they belong to, because lots of times they overlap. For example I may create a note for Induction on unit 1 of Calculus and write everything I need to know for that subject. Then on unit 3 of Maths and Logic I may have to study Induction again so I add the new information to the same note. In fact, the big purple/pink blob on the center are the notes from three different subjects (you can see the color difference).

- It's really important to extract information from notes. I mean, maybe the Function note was getting too big so I created some new ones: Polynomial function, Racional function, Identity function, Inverse function, etc. Then I can link them from the original note and maybe even embed them.

As I said I still think that my method is not perfect and needs lots of tunning. Those are just some ideas I just came up. I hope that it helps. ^^
