Nesrin Gokcen PhD. student, University of East London, England.	“Joseph Adonu’s voice is symphonic in this practical and uplifting volume. Undergraduates everywhere who want more out of their university experience now have the guidance they need to release their ultimate potential. How To Excel And Have Fun At University is a revelation.”	The main readership target is undergraduate students across the world, since university traditions all over the world are similar, based on the medieval, modern and post-modern models. Undergraduates form the majority of university populations across the world. They are the ones who are in most need of guidance and inspiration in grappling with the demands of a new ‘academic planet’ called the university, which is in sharp contrast to their previous level of education – sixth form or high school. However, graduate students have a lot to gain from this book because fundamentally, they are in the same environment and dealing with the same people as undergraduates. Most postgraduate programmes in recent times contain a considerable course work element delivered through group sessions, seminars and field work, and assessed through reports, essays, thesis, portfolios and examination. As such, the topics treated in this book are of incredible relevance to graduate students. For example, topics such as motivation, prioritizing, planning, organization, using social skills, working with supervisors and academic productivity are of great applied relevance to graduate study. ...................................................................................... If you have a friend, loved one or family member at university, one of the best presents you can give them is a copy of How To Excel And Have Fun At University. In the toughest moments of struggling to weather the storms of academic work, this book is a students' companion to turn to for guidance and inspiration. ...................................................................................... Beyond students, parents and guardians can draw ideas and inspiration from this book in order to be able to support and guide their sons and daughters who are already in or are preparing to enter the university. Parents usually may be heavily involved in their children’s education through the junior and secondary schools but tend to ‘leave them alone’ when it comes to university education. This may be because not many parents have been through university education, to have the experience and knowledge of what university is all about. Those parents who have been through university education may find themselves only vaguely aware of the contemporary realities and dynamics prevalent in higher education experience. This book is designed to equip parents of all backgrounds with key inspirational ideas and practical guidelines to play that supportive role which students need to face the journey head. Personal tutors, student support workers and counsellors are not left out in the design of this book. Their role requires so much knowledge of student realities, professional relationship and emotional intelligence in guiding and supporting students. They will find this book a real inspirational students’ companion that brings them so much insight in their daily experience with university students.

With ease it cranks up the engine of the student who is, maybe even without much of noticing, entering with your words the highway of success. Reading goes by itself. And it is joyful. There is always a vital dialogue with the reader. Most of all I enjoyed the examples you selected, throwing light on clearly arranged points, keys and strategies of success derived not only from your amazing life-story. Clearly, I am a fan of your book, and feel happy for all the students who will find guidance for their academic life, thanks to your kind and precise tips."
