Product Description

Review

This book is very funny… It’s also packed with absolutely excellent advice. If you or anyone you know is thinking of university, as a starting point, I cannot recommend this highly enough.

(Amazon.co.uk )


Product Description

Not all universities are the same and there’s no such thing as the best university, only the right university for you as an individual. Every university has different strengths and weaknesses. And what may be a weakness for one individual may be a big plus for another. The Push Guide to Choosing a University has all the tricks to help you to pick the best place for you.

One in six students in the UK flunks university. By choosing your university carefully and by picking the right place for you, you’re not only more likely not to flunk, you’re more likely to get the most out of it.

· In a lively, humourous and entertaining way, Push takes you through every aspect of student life and helps you ‘design’ your ideal university.

· Complete the unique Push questionnaire and create a checklist of your personal requirements (and use the Push website to make a shortlist of universities that match).

· From choosing the right location and course through every aspect of student life, this guide will help you get the most out of your time at university.

· For the first time, the Guide is published in association with The Independent Newspaper, which will provide excellent marketing and promotional support.

The Push Guides provide students with facts, figures and advice on making the right university choice, providing reliable, independent and unbiased information on every university in the UK. Push tells students the real story and tells it straight. All guides are written and researched by students and recent graduates, with a unique team of on-the-ground student researchers interviewing thousands of students every year about the real issues that concern them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very useful, but seriously funny too, 9 Sep 2004
By A Customer
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars a "must" for would-be university students, 29 Jul 2009
By A. D. Gowers "Annie" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Both entertaining and informative for ambitious students,with plenty of less serious information amongst valuable pointers to what are the important criteria for considering individual choices.

5.0 out of 5 stars Relieves the pressure and introduces humour., 3 Nov 2009
By L. Chapman (Mddsx. uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
My daughter was very relieved to have a bit of humour introduced to the serious affair of choosing suitable universities. She really enjoyed reading this book and could hardly put it down! It took the pressure off and she actually began to enjoy the proccess. I highly recommend the books written by this author. Very helpful.
