UCLan Launches Alterative Guide for Freshers

Date: 6-May-2010 

The Alternative Guide (TAG) is a JISC-funded website which aims to give freshers a realistic picture of university life.

The website includes practical advice for new students on everything from timetables to personal finances and homesickness in the form of case studies, articles and films, as well as a video tour of the university campus and interactive map to help them get around and diagnostic testing to help with course selection.

The resource also allows new students to develop relationships with their peers prior to arrival using integrated social networking tools.

The website aims to ensure students starting university for the first time develop realistic expectations of higher education as well as making sure they understand what the institution will expect from them.
