Summary: It's okay
Comment: This book is okay as a basic guide, however it has a few flaws...
1) Most of the information is easily available on the internet.
2) It sounds as if the person writing it has never heard the opinions of the students at the universities or been to them, it's just facts and figures, so you don't really get a feel for the universities.
3) It doesn't include colleges, such as the university college for the creative arts, it's not a university but it has university courses and validated BA hons degrees. There are a lot of Arts colleges like this that have not been given university status because they only do one subject. Many are now being given this status but a lot still do not have it, so this guide was not very inclusive when it comes to looking for an art degree.
Overall i don't think this was worth the money as it was just facts and figures that i could find easily online. I would buy a differnt guide next time.

Summary: Very useful, but...
Comment: I had been using this book in careers class to help me decide which universities I was going to apply to, and this book was exceedingly helpful for this task.
This book gives a league table of universities and also ranks them by each subject for example, Law or History. Another important aspect of this book is that it describes the universities making it truly invaluable to any A-Level student.
However, I only gave this book four stars because the vast majority of information is available online - in the Times website and also through the universities' websites.
Overall I would say that this book is very useful and definitely needed for any student who wants to make the right choice of university - after all it is one of the most important decisions you will make!

Summary: Excellent
Comment: Required reading for anyone considering or planning to go to University in the UK. A mass of well-researched, well-analysed data and information that helps one make much better informed judgement on one of the most important decisions of one's life.
