Belonging at university, excellent careers resources, and the university that left me torn.
This week we look at the importance of finding a sense of belonging at university. You might think it’s all about gut instinct; that feeling you get when you visit, that tells you whether you can see yourself being a student there. It turns out there is a way more to it, and there are important questions you should ask a university to see whether they are playing their part in helping you belong.
We revisit an article all about UCAS Extra, which opened just last week.
We discover a couple of really helpful careers platforms who are using community and networking to help early career searchers.
And we look at one of the world's most prestigious universities - while I do my best to be objective.
Crazy competitive courses, UCAS Extra, and thinking like a Roman Emperor.

We remind ourselves that UCAS Extra opens very soon!
And we are introduced to some stoic thinking by a Roman Emperor.

We also take a first look at university funding for UK students.
And we hear about prestige and how it can warp your beliefs.
