Description
“I know that this time in your life may be full of questions and uncertainties. Is university the right choice for me? Should I live at home or move away? How do I manage studying on top of day-to-day living? What support am I entitled to? Will my flatmates understand my situation? And most importantly, how on Earth do I fit all these pyjamas into just one drawer?”
Written by disabled graduate Pippa Stacey, University and Chronic Illness: A Survival Guide is your one-stop resource for making the most out of the student experience whilst managing a long-term health condition. This chatty and no-nonsense book dives into every element of the university experience, from choosing the right location for you to dating and socialising, avenues of support you may be entitled to, living independently for the first time, managing your money, what to do when things go wrong… and SO much more.
Alongside stories and lived experiences from the author and contributions from a wide range of disabled students, this book is bursting with practical tips to ensure future students are equipped to really get the most out of their university experience and embrace student life in a way that works for them.

![“Pippa’s guide has really helped me through my first year at university. The freshers’ week section was a lifesaver. [...] I also frequently find myself returning to the day-to-day living section when I’m finding things particularly hard, and I love the personal anecdotes from real people with disabilities sharing their experiences and advice.” – Emma Baker](https://www.lifeofpippa.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Uni-CI-Quotes-1440x450.png)
