Very useful, but seriously funny too
|
I'm a head of sixth form and, if our budget would stretch to it, I'd get a copy of this for every one of my Year 12 pupils. But even at under a fiver, that ain't going to happen.
We ordered a few copies for our careers office and I picked one up on the way to the loo so I'd have something to read. I didn't care what it was. However, I was gripped. I ended up borrowing it and taking it home to read cover-to-cover. Although it may not be the most important thing about it, this book is very funny - the sort of funny that even our surly Year 12ers will enjoy.
It's also packed with absolutely excellent advice about how to go about choosing a university; the idea being that the course isn't the be-all and end-all, but that students should appreciate some of the other differences between individual universities. It goes on to explain some of those differences and why you might prefer one place to another.
If you or anyone you know is thinking of university, as a starting point, I cannot recommend this highly enough.
