Is it worth going to university? It certainly is! Distance learning courses can be good, just like home learning, but the social life at uni is better. You will have a fantastic time there and get a better job at the end of it. If you want to do well in high school and then go to a decent university or college this book will help you achieve your goals.

 

Now in the 5th form? 6th form? Or earlier? Whatever year you are in or course you are on, this book will improve your chances of getting into the first on the list of universities you really want to attend. Then after you are accepted and get to uni, this book will help you to settle down quickly, adjust to the new great life, and do well ― as you enjoy yourself for three exciting years before getting that university degree.

 

If it is your child we are talking about then buying this book will be a small investment with a big pay off. It costs only £9.95, maybe even less if discounted on Amazon. College education does pay off.

 

 

Just how can it help? It can improve your results at school and university in lots of ways by:

 

• Showing you how to score better marks in an exam or in tests.
• Telling you how to write a better essay.
• Helping you to settle down quickly in an academic environment.
• Providing money-saving tips for living cheaply (so you can spend more on things you really enjoy!)
• Demonstrating how to present good tutorials or seminars (better results in your course which means a better degree which can mean better graduate jobs).
• Training you in role playing and making a presentation (invaluable in business after you graduate and are seeking employment).
• Helping you to develop your team-working and effective communication skills (improved job prospects and faster management promotion).
• Explaining how you can relax and manage problems of fear and mental anxiety (life can get hectic and sooner or later you will probably need to cope with problems of stress).
• Teaching you about learning efficiently (so you need to work less and get better results).
• Speeding up the learning process (saves time for doing all the things that you find fun).
• Improving your general learning ability (which also improves your future earning ability in your career).

 

And finally,

• Going to University: the Secrets of Success contains eleven chapters, eleven figures (diagrams and tables) plus lots of entertaining images.
• It is an easy and enjoyable read - it’s fun!
• The tips, hints and advice are abundant, clear and sound.
• There is also advice on how to improve your chance of getting a better job after you graduate from Uni.
• And the advice here can help you progress faster in your career and earn more sooner.
• The second edition of Going to University: the Secrets of Success has been updated and expanded. It now includes such things as:

* Advice on using PowerPoint to your best advantage

* Tips for tackling case-based and problem-based questions in exams

* A list of good free computer programs, organised by topic, so that you can easily find what you want. (This can save you time and money, much more than the price of this book!)

REVIEWS BY GENUINE STUDENTS

 

 

1.  Pugwash News , Portsmouth’s Official Student Newspaper “

“When I was given this book, I thought that it would be another boring book; but how wrong I was! This book is not a book that provides you with details about university life. It is an interactive book that acts as a guide to every student covering aspects like studies, finances; night life and accommodation, just to name a few. In fact, the title of this book pretty much says it all; it portrays a student’s life (with lots of introspection from the author) and how to make the most out of university life.... (Nandini Indiran) Read Full Review

 

 

2.  5.0 out of 5 stars:  Student review

“It is jam-packed with useful hints and tips to make not just study easier and more enjoyable, but the whole uni experience. It is simply written and also quite funny which aids readability.

I think it's invaluable for anyone thinking about going to uni, enrolling in uni, or already at uni. I highly recommend it.”

(Michael Bower,  student, Amazon.co.uk)

3.  5.0 out of 5 stars  A fresher's handbook

“...Although aimed at first year students and written in a light and lively manner, the book ends with advice on motivation, brainstorming, team-work and presentations; all necessary for second and third year undergraduates and the wider world beyond university. Unreservedly recommended.” (Fascinated Reader - Durham, UK, Amazon.co.uk)

4.  4.0 out of 5 stars  “Great for students going straight from college

It is a good book... It has parts about student living, how to plan your finances and get by on a budget. Also a good part on how to get over the 'OMG this is a whole different world' feeling you get when you actually walk into the place (we've all been there) a book I wish I had at 18.”  (Aisha V. Shawcross, Amazon.co.uk)

5.  “Richard Benstead finds out about how to be a success at university...

...Bucknall’s book, written with the aim of offering a brief guide to those about to arrive at university (including the often ignored mature student), explains the fundamental issues each student is likely to face at university - be it when searching for suitable accommodation or when delivering the inevitable end of term essay(s). For the nervous pre-university student, it can become a reassuring hand on the shoulder. As a succinct guide it can easily be read from cover to cover. Bucknall’s engaging writing style and genuine belief that ‘life is beautiful’ shine through and will offer some reassurance to those fearful few who worry about what university life will hold for them....”  (Richard Benstead, student, Durham University)
