The meaning of よう in this sentence?

> 先生に相談したところ、ぜひ大学院に行く **よう** 勧められた。

I assume that it introduces the advice, but it shouldn't be a particle or
something like that?




Its an abbreviation of ように. In Chinese characters its 様に. So its a noun. ように
is like "in the manner of". よう/様 is like "manner"/"way".
