Student Blogs
There are lots of students out there talking about university firsthand in blogs or on their own websites.
Reading some of them will give you a good idea of what it's like to be a student, or study at a particular university.
Although many blogs are often rarely updated, boring or filled with useless rubbish, we have managed to find some that are generally interesting and should give you a good picture of university life.
If you have a good blog or website documenting your time at university, then please get in touch at info@studential.com.
