Book description
University can be a bit of a jungle - student loans, essay deadlines
and 'Freshers Week' are just a few hazards. But with the Virgin
University Survival Guide you'll never be lost again. This
unique university guide provides practical advice on all aspects of
university life, including:
Getting ready to go - what to take and what to leave behind
Freshers Week - what to do and what definitely not to do
Your course - studying, coursework and exams
Housing, house hunting and dealing with difficult landlords
Money - everything you need to know about fees, loans and debt
Health and stress
Campus crime and safety
Work and careers - when to start thinking about the future
Graduation and beyond - job, gap year or a post-graduate course?
And, of course, how to make the most of your new-found social life.
After all, it's not all about studying....
