  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!
 
  Lots of great advice

the main problem I had with other "college survival books" were that they all induced the "DUH" response from me. don't let your grades drop. use effective study techniques. there may be tensions between you and your roommate. DUH. this kind of information is common sense, the things I knew and anticipated in the first place.

this book packs a lot of advice and insights that I could actually USE.. a lot of the pages had me going "ooh, so THAT's what it is." or "hey, I always wanted to know that." as a freshman-to-be, i found htis book tremendously helpful and reassuring. I don't know if my opinion of this book will change after I actually experience my first year, but as of now I feel a lot safer, more confident and ready for next year. and that's exactly what I needed from a book like this.

 
  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.
 
  This book makes me psyched for college

As an avid user of Amazon and a senior in high school, I bought several college survival books. This one was one of the best. It is clealy written and to the point, yet fun to read. The student quotes add humor and force you to realize that everybody makes mistakes in college. The book covers every topic imaginable for the college-bound student. It explains what to bring, how to pack, how to get airline tickets, choose classes, use a computer, surf the net, and much more. Furthermore, it covers much more than what is common sense. Due to this fabulous book, I am psyched to be going to college in the fall.
