The Best of #BetterUniChoices (for right now)
😊 Welcome
It’s coming up on the Easter Holidays for most students, and for teachers too.
So rather than have something new to think about, I thought it would be a good time to revisit a bunch of seriously useful stuff for this time of year.
✍️ Useful stuff for year 12 / penultimate year students
Are you thinking about university, but are not sure it’s for you? Have a look at these two articles which look at why you might want to go to university, and some techniques for taking control of your life and making positive decisions about your future.
Perhaps you are sure that you want to go to university, but you don’t know how to decide which courses and universities are a good fit for you? This article should be right up your street!
And finally, if you are considering university, you’ll want to understand the process, and know exactly what happens and when.
✍️ Useful stuff for year 13 / final year students
If you are in your final year, then chances are you are getting near the end of the university application process. Once you have all the university decisions in, you’ll be making your final choices. My confidence scorecard is designed to help!
Once your decision is made, you’ll need to start considering your budget, and many of you will be applying for accommodation. For help with this, have a look at these.
Finally, many of you will have some exams coming up. For a few simple tips on more effective revision, have a look at this.
That's all for this week.
After Easter we’ll be back with my brand new guide on How to Write your UCAS Personal Statement; fully revised with the new structure for entry 2026.
