Student blogs
One of the best ways to develop a good understanding of what uni life is really like is to talk to people who are living it right now. For lots of you this is as easy as getting the low-down from friends and family, and for others it might mean scouring university websites for information.
Another really useful way to get valuable information and advice is to check out our first-year blog. Written by a group of current first-year students, First_year@UniMelb gives you an authentic insight into how first-year students are coping with the demands of uni life.
The 2007 first- and second-year bloggers loved it so much - and their audience couldn't bear to see them leave - that they're back in Back for Seconds: there's more where that came from. Have a look to find out how second and third year compares to first.
