Are you a baffled parent struggling to understand the nitty-gritty of student finance? Or are you preparing for university and wondering how you'll juggle social life with studying? The Haynes Student Manual offers help and guidance every step of the way, from moving into halls of residence to deciding what to do with your degree.
The first day at uni can seem overwhelming. Freshers are bombarded with requests to join clubs, societies, the library, local doctors, networks, parties.... The Student Manual is here to help you make sense of the hubbub.
How do you turn that pile of smelly clothes into crisp, clean garments? How will you feed and water yourself? And on top of this, how can you make the most of your degree and find a job when the music stops?
Many students prefer to rent privately. The Student Manual can help you avoid those housing nightmares.
The Student Manual is here to help, offering advice on how to stay relatively healthy, featuring a minimum effort fitness plan, as well as a simple guide to cooking and a few basic DIY tips. Housing issues are also covered, from renting nightmares to everyone's number one priority - how to get your deposit back.
It can take a while to get to grips with your course, and the Student Manual features tips on essay planning, writing skills, presentations, sources and how to avoid plagiarism. With insight from current students and advice from experts, this manual will help you survive and thrive on campus and beyond.
