Customer Reviews

Fantastic Book with great advice!
I am a residence life advisor at University of Texas and for years I've been recommending this book to incoming freshman, especially those with a lot of questions and concerns about college life. Students can relate to it because it was written by a team of students. Thank you Greg Gottesman for revising it again. There is another book that I wish every parent would buy for their children going to college, and that's Major In Success by Patrick Combs. I recommend getting College Survival to help your son or daughter make the adjustment, and Major in Success to help them standout.

The Perfect Gift: Useful and Down to Earth
All how-to books have a cheesey element to them...and while this is no exception, the information is up to date, useful and easy to access. What's really great about this book is that you can use it as you need to-- no need to read it in one sitting, just wait until you're in a bind and then read whatever section is pertinent. It's well done, comprehensive, and fun. The perfect gift for a senior in high school or college student.

This book covers everything!
I didn't think I would need this book at first. I was flipping through a copy that a friend of mine got as a graduation present, and I thought that it would just be filled with all the same stuff my parents and teachers had lectured to me about college, what to bring, what not to bring, blah blah. Boy was I wrong! It has absolutely every detail covered and I feel much more confident about leaving for college this fall!
