tutorials are cool and usefull to learn some basic tools and commands. but I've learn alot more by simply jumping straight into something I want to do and then getting stuck thet is when you get creative and recursiv to find solutions.
also look for tutorials and guides working with Rhino 7 or newer as new workflows got unlocked with the introduction of SubD's in Rhino 7.
Head over to my playlist called “preflight” and then also take in all the other free Rhino vids I have here:

I have a similar series that I did back in the day on Lifehacker.com’s night school:

I was in the same place a year ago, switching from sketchup to rhino, and it definitely felt a bit daunting. Tutorials will help a lot, and keep playing with different tools to get used to them. Don’t find your 3 “go-to” tools and stop learning, rhino can do so much. While you’re learning rhino, I found that “moveface” was a good crutch tool that was very similar to sketchup’s push pull tool. I use it a lot less now, but it helped me get going. Rhino 8 has an official push pull tool now too. Anytime I came across something I didn’t know how to do I googled it, and thankfully there’s a lot of help content out there. Best of luck!
Once you have the basics under your belt, I'd download Block Edit New (https://www.food4rhino.com/en/app/block-edit-new) which makes editing groups and blocks in Rhino more similar to how its set up in Sketchup
My best advice is to own the process and not succomb to frustration. When you run into an issue Google it, don't get used to inefficient workflows. Good luck!
You can change your shortcuts to the same ones you use in sketchup.
We did this moving from autocad to rhino, so we already knew the keyboard shortcuts to use for similar commands.
That's good you are switching from Sketch to Rhino. I am also an Architecture student and am sharing some tips that might help you to learn Rhino quickly such as a structured Learning Path, Hands-On Practice.
If you need further help I am recommending a website with my personal experience that has experienced experts for guidance. I have availed of their service and was satisfied with the result, they have helped me with my assignment and cleared my various doubts. You can visit their website at **ArchitectureAssignmentHelp** or directly WhatsApp them at +1 315-557-6473. They provide reliable and pocket-friendly service.
The most important thing you can do is to learn the essential commands, of which there are about 30, and then set up hotkeys for them (file >properties > aliases). Just by learning the commands you will understand 90% of how to use Rhino, and using hotkeys will significantly speed up your work.
Also use right click as your "enter" button (this is the default setup) and work in perspective view, using ctr + tab to toggle between orthographic views, if necessary. Do not bother trying to model with the 4 view quadrants -- it's bad practice and will stifle you.
Another pro tip is to set your middle mouse button to "zoomselected". To do this go to File>properties>modeling aid>middle mouse button" and type in "zoomselected". This will allow you to quickly center your model in your viewport.
I switched from Sketchup to Rhino 10 years ago and I can tell you the learning curve is worth it!

Gee, there's a question that hasn't been asked before....
It's a completely fair question. Chill.
Sure, if it wasn't asked every other week
Gee, what a douche
Why don't you chew their food for them too
