Hello @edward2k, I am with a couple groups that geet and try to help new users get a leg up on steemit. @newbieresteemday, and @greetersguild, (who left your link in our promo box). I see that you are of the scientific/engineer type student. I think one of the groups/communities you may be interested in is @steemstem (Community Project to Promote Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics Postings on Steemit).
Good luck on your steemit journeys, if you need help with anything you can always drop a question on any of my post and I will try to help or point you where better help may be available.
