As the parent of a son who intends to go to university later this year, A Guide to Uni Life is a welcome read – and a reminder of my own university days. The book covers all of the excitement and enthusiasm, fears and worries of any new student as they venture into the unknown, often living away from home for the first time.

This book covers pretty much everything a student will need – and want – to know, from what to pack before they go and how to make the most of freshers’ week to managing finances, halls and housing and dealing with any health needs. There is information on cooking and food hygiene  (including some simple recipes to get students started) and, of course, the reason why students will be at university in the first place – to study.

A Guide to Uni Life provides realistic insight into what to expect, with useful tips from current and previous students. It’s fun to read, well-planned and well-structured, making it easy to dip into, and provides helpful reassurance for students (and their parents). It covers topics that students may not even consider, such as security and safety, and budgeting and finding work. There’s also a chapter on when things don’t go to plan – the wrong university, the wrong course, the wrong accommodation, and so on – so that students realise they’re not alone and help is available rather than panic instead.

If you know someone going to university, this would be a useful gift – ideally read before they go so they can plan in advance, but helpful once they’ve arrived too.
