Reviews

Professional, loved the images, layout and text combinations. I enjoyed it immensely and would certainly have loved this book for my undergraduate BA.  -- Jay Dunstan * Chapter review * Overall, the chapter effectively navigates the nuances of university culture in the initial weeks. Its strengths lie in practical advice and insights into campus life. The practical advice is immensely useful for both incoming and current students. -- Yan Yee Yip * Chapter review *
