Going to university is expensive. It's an investment of money. It
is also a massive leap of faith by everyone connected to your
choice. You hope it will be a good experience, but you aren't sure.
You want it to be fair to you and worth the effort, but there are
no guarantees. Going to university to study and get a degree or
certificate of qualification is as political as it is personal. So
beware and be ready! But worry not. You will spend your money
wisely for a long-term return. Why? Because there is a game to
play, and by picking up this book, you intend to play to win.
Playing the University Game shows you the rules of the game,
strategies for success on your terms (not those of the university
as institution and system) and, most importantly, how to enjoy
yourself as a university student, reaping the long-term benefits
both during your experience and afterwards. How to win the personal
way using political-social knowledge shared with you from inside
the university walls. Helen Lees draws on her research and lived
experiences of self-care in education, combining this with the
voices of established academics, who between them have a
wide-ranging and deeply reflective understanding of the university
and university student interactions. Helen takes you into the heart
of the mechanisms of university life, revealing key moves you need
to make to survive and thrive in the game. She shares with you
which actions and attitudes matter to win, why winning matters, how
you can win without joining a dog-eat-dog competition. Helen
empowers you to see why university education is about you and your
flourishing, not the graduation prize but nevertheless happily also
all about the graduation prize, which really matters. She skills
you with the knowledge you need to avoid stress, to enjoy yourself
and get true value for money from the educational product you have
chosen.
