Why it matters who writes the guide
Every writer is currently studying at the university or in the city they write about. The guide to Hatfield accommodation is written by someone in Hatfield. The Durham nightlife guide is written by someone at Durham.
Every article is reviewed by our editorial team before it goes live. Facts checked. Figures sourced. The student voice stays — accuracy is added on top of it, not instead of it.
Every article carries the writer's name, university and course. No anonymous content. If a guide tells you what student halls in Bristol are really like, you can see exactly who said it and where they study.

Writers who have contributed to Unifresher
Our current team is 22 writers. But Unifresher has published work from over 100 student writers since we launched, covering universities and cities across the UK. Their articles are still live. Their first-hand experience of places like Cambridge, Edinburgh, Bath, Belfast and Southampton is still what makes those guides credible.

Universities and cities covered
Unifresher writers have covered student life at over 40 UK universities across 33 cities. Active and past writers combined.
How every guide gets made
Brief
Our editorial team identifies the questions students are actually searching for. A brief goes to the writer with direct experience of that city or topic.
Student writes
The writer drafts from first-hand experience, supplemented by current data. Their perspective is the point — it is not edited out.
Editorial review
Our editors check every fact, source every statistic and verify any claim that a student could rely on to make a real decision.
Published and maintained
Published under the writer's real name. Key guides are reviewed and updated when underlying data changes.
