I bought this book as a last minute purchase - I wish I had bought it earlier as it included a lot of information in selecting a place to study overseas, plus a lot on how to pack, what to take and a really good overview of the university system in Britain. I took the book with me and it was in daily use in the first few weeks as me and my new friends tried to figure out how to open bank accounts, where to go shopping, how to phone home - all those things you never expect to be different in a country that speaks the "same" language - but where things are just done differently. It really helped me settle in much faster and get more out of the experience - even suggesting what to expect on your return home.I would certainly recommend this book to anyone going on study abroad to Britain.
