Reviews   This is an unpaid video review by YouTube personality TheHill88. See what she thought of the book! Gold Coast Bulletin - December 2006 "Schoolies is over and for many, the next step, after sobering up, is preparing for uni. Using humour and practical advice, this guide is a helping hand on issues including course selection, balancing study and social life, making the rural-city transition, minimising fees, applying advanced study skills and more. IN A WORD: Tutorial" Progress Leader - 16 January 2007 "Facing a year as one of the wide-eyed "freshmen" at university is a daunting prospect for school-leavers, but armed with The Beginner's Guide to University, it could be a lot easier to handle." [full interview] Herald Sun - 12 December 2006 “Going to uni can be cool, but how do you juggle the self-motivated study regimen, your burgeoning social life and a shoe-string budget? Comedians Hamish Blake and John Safran share their experiences in The Beginner’s Guide to University.  This is a groovy guide, with a capital G, and it’s not afraid to tell you about the seedier side of uni life.  Drugs, alcohol and dating are as much issues as the need to write last-minute essays and hone your study skills."   Herald Sun - 16 January 2006 "You won't cry when your mum leaves or worry about the grade-six kids bullying you, but in many ways starting uni is similar to Prep. The environment is new and full of strangers, the workload is a different ball game from school and you have to start again in the friendship stakes. Adjusting can be tough and being an adult, at least in theory, won't make it any easier. Being prepared is your best weapon. Bronwyn Polson, co-author of The Beginner's Guide to University, says incoming tertiary students have little understanding of what lies ahead, and problems often occur because they swing one way or the other." [full interview] Triple J - 17 January 2007 The authors chatted to Robbie Buck about surviving university on Triple J radio.
