- For Academics, studying on holidays or during Summer School can give you a nice boost. Don't forget about the Library for a solid +2, or even +4 if you're feeling great!
- Charm can be increased by answering correctly in class quizzes, which is a nice way to multitask. Visiting the Arcade or going to the movies are also good options.
- Remember that being Tired or Sick can reduce your stat gains, so try to manage your condition.
- The Health Shop offers a small boost to both Academics and Charm for 3000 yen on weekdays, which can be a good investment if you have the cash.
- Working at the Coffee Shop at night is a great way to get a little Charm and Courage at the same time!
