What I wish I'd known
Some things about university life you just can't know until you've got there. Or can you? We asked some of this year's researchers and writers to tell us what they wish they'd known before stomping the ground to graduation. So here are their thoughts, straight from the horse's mouth:
- No two universities are the same by Tom Brookes, Push's Assistant Editor (Journalism, Cardiff, 2007)
- A few handy hints by Nathalie Bonney, Push Researcher (English Literature, Reading, 2003)
- Don't expect to be spoon-fed by Lindsey Bezzina (Pharmacology and Neuroscience, Dundee, 2008)
- What not to pack by Sarah Wray (English, Newcastle, 2001)
- The golden rules by Sarah Stubbs (English and Classical Studies, Royal Holloway, 2003)
- From speedos to socials, what's right for you? by Jim McConnell, Push Researcher (Journalism, Cardiff, 2007)
- The relationship saga by Vivienne Yong, Push Researcher and Editorial Assistant (English, Leicester, 2007)
- Having been hit by elephants... by Gareth Mogg (History, Cardiff, 2008)
- The 'rah' contingent by Alicia Roberts (English Literature, Bristol, 2008)
