This illustrated pocket book offers advice and practical tips for students to help build their resourcefulness at university. It acknowledges the huge, emotional shift that occurs when a student goes to university, as well as offering advice and strategies to deal with situations that may be academically and/or personally challenging.

With insightful material from students who describe the unique pressures they experienced at university - and how they dealt with them - this is a very practical book in which readers will learn ways to develop life strategies and grow as a result of their experiences.
