Eating the massive burgers at Wild Duck Burger will give massive boosts to Courage. If you find yourself short on it, be sure to have every dinner at Wild Duck Burger!
In the Wild Duck Burger Challenge, players will be tasked to eat a ridiculously large burger and will require players to have an improved Courage before taking it on. The improvements from this challenge can only be acquired once.
Completing the Wild Duck Burger Challenge will result in significant bonuses to all Stats, but failing to complete it will result in a boost in Courage only. Therefore, as large as the boosts may be, you should only take on this challenge once you can.

Going to the Arcade in Paulownia Mall is the most effective way to increase any of the three Social Stat. To increase Courage, however, playing High School of the Youth every Tuesday and Friday is the way to go.
The Arcade's activities have a 3-day rotation, and each activity increases one respective Social Stat. It would be best to spend your nights here until you max out all three Social Stats.

In previous versions of Persona 3 where the Fatigue System was still in place, opting to go to the infirmary and taking a medicine used to improve your Condition.
Now that the Fatigue System has been removed in Persona 3 Reload, doing so will provide bonuses to Courage instead! Taking the nurse's medicine will not progress time, so be sure to do this as often as needed.
Pay a visit to the Net Cafe at the Iwatodai Strip Mall and purchase the computer softwares they have for sale. These softwares can be accessed in the Lounge of the dorm at any time, and each software can be used to increase one Social Stat!
Using these softwares, however, can only increase a Social Stat once, and the software for Courage is Animal Othello. The best time to use these softwares is on Sunday nights as the Arcade will not have any activities that increase Social Stats.
Normally, one would choose to try and stay awake during class. However, sleeping in class will result in a free boost to your Courage.
Although this might sound enticing, staying awake will have better rewards for you in the long run, so we highly recommend that you do so instead of dozing off. Since the Fatigue System has been abolished, sleeping in class will have no other benefits.

If you are running low on Social Stats and desperately need to catch up, watching a movie at the Theater in Paulownia Mall is your go-to option. Doing so will increase a Social Stat based on what you choose to watch.
However, the Theater is closed during evenings and weekends, making it accessible only during weekday afternoons. Sacrificing a Social Link for a movie might be detrimental to future endeavors, so only treat this tactic as a desperate measure.

The Iwatodai Dorm presents a lot of opportunities to increase your Social Stats, and you can even do these activities with your friends! However, these activities will not be available until June 16th.
A good alternative to watching movies at the cinema is by watching DVDs at the dorm with your friends! This will increase a Social Stat depending on what you will watch, which will be determined by whoever is available to watch with you.
Just like watching a DVD, your friends will occasionally be available to read a book of their choosing. Reading with them will increase a Social Stat depending on the genre of books you will read.

Some part-time jobs can provide boosts to a singular or multiple Social Stats. If all the options above have been exhausted, then working at a part-time job that improves your Courage is your go-to option.
This is also an effective tactic as it can also net you some money!

Several activities in Persona 3 Reload give you opportunities to increase your Courage, and some of these activities even offer to increase another Social Stat along with it!
Normally, before engaging in such activities, the game will inform you of what Social Stats will be improved. However, a number of these activities will not, such as answering quiz and exam questions correctly.
More often than not, some of these activities will only be available during certain days of the week. Opening your Calendar and taking a gander at which activities are available can help you form an itinerary and stick to it.
Much like improving Social Links, improving a Social Stat can take up an entire day. Therefore, you must keep track of which Stats or Social Links need the most improvement to ascertain which ones to prioritize.
Here's a quick tip: only make efforts to improve your Social Stats in the Evening. The Mornings, Daytime, and Afternoons should be dedicated to increasing Social Links unless none of them are available or they've all been maxed out.
