I’m starting a university degree in October and was wondering if anyone could recommend some decent software for learning? I’ll be studying business and economics.
Got a tip for us?

Not joking...I love this app for helping me focus.
Pzizz - Sleep, Nap, Focus
Pzizz helps you quickly quiet your mind, fall asleep, stay asleep, and wake up refreshed. We use beautiful “dreamscapes” — a mix of music, voiceovers and sound effects designed using the latest clinical research — to help you sleep better at night or take power naps during the day. WHAT...

Software does not specifically help learning. Enjoy your studies, and work out what may help you as you settle in and identify specific needs.
generally speaking, macOS already comes with quite a few great tools for "learning"
didn't go to a university myself, but i'd guess that it'd be helpful in your case if you looked into the MS Office Suite (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Outlook, Teams) and maybe Adobe Acrobat
Not that you couldn't basically use what already came pre-installed on macOS perfectly fine too, but compatibility issues might more or less require you to use some certain software that more or less are de facto standards in their fields.
But look into what your university actually expects you to use, before spending/investigating anything costy

remember there is parallel desktop and PD Runner to help with specific windows only app
Here’s perhaps a radical idea. You can relax without needing a computer… University isn’t just for studying.
Use your MacBook for what you need to use it for, you don’t need to use it all day unless you are genuinely working all day. Go to a Library and write handwritten notes or read some books, they stay in your mind longer plus you might meet an absolute hotty there
