Review

'I really enjoyed this book. It was personal and insightful and I could have done with reading it before I came to university. It was clear that it was written by students but that just made it more fun and easygoing.' - Ellie Shipton, first year student at the University of Exeter, UK 

'I believe this will be a very helpful guide for any student about to start university life. It covers everything I would have needed help with when I started, and is friendly, easy to follow and full of handy tips. - Jack Oliver, Archaeology student
 
'I would definitely buy this book as a student. For me, I might actually treat it like a comfort blanket. The author has a very reassuring voice and the advice is good advice!' - Elena Villarreal, International Relations student
 
'Making 'university life' comprehensible and digestible cannot have been an easy task, yet Lucien tackled the challenge head-on by making her words enjoyable yet informative... At a time when tuition fees could put many students off higher education altogether, reading a book like this will help them make a well-informed decision over the matter, as well as giving them helpful hints on being a student in general.' - The Boar (University of Warwick's Student Newspaper)
