Obviously, Push is the best, the most reliable, the sexiest… no, but seriously, folks, we’re genuinely trying to provide helpful stuff here. Push was started by students who thought most sources don’t come anywhere close to the six criteria above and so we set out consciously to match them. If you think this resource has been handy, then we hope it’s because that aim has come out in our approach. If not, we’ve failed, so don’t trust us and skip the next few paragraphs — they’ll make you hurl.
- Push’s idea is that we provide everything you need to identify the right university for you and we do it…
- independently — Push is answerable to no one but applicants
- accurately — our research is the most detailed into student life anywhere in the UK, involving visits to every university every year
- and accessibly — our staff are all students, recent graduates and experts in the field.
Basically, we keep it real and tell it like it is.
Hopefully, you've visited the University Chooser and, if you didn’t know why you should be bothered by some of the factors you could use to choose, you may have read the relevant sections of this site. In the end, you'll have arrived at a shortlist of universities that match your needs – with your favourite topping the list. From there, you can also find out how every university in the UK matches up to your needs by viewing the university profiles.
Push also produces a number of books (published by Hodder Arnold) and organises school visits giving regular talks in schools and colleges all over the UK.
Enough of the shameless plug, already. What about the other sources?
