Customer Reviews

I love all Chicken Soup for the Soul Books!

I am a college student, and as every college student knows, having a book to help you get through it is always helpful. This book has so many wonderful stories that can be enjoyed when your sad, happy, or angry. You'll definitely want to pick this one up.

A great collection of comforting and funny stories.

I received Chicken Soup for the College Soul, for Christmas during my senior year of highschool. During this time, like many seniors, I was completely stressed out over choosing and appling to colleges. The stories in this book helped me to realize that college can be a lot of fun and is not something to stress out about. The section titled Transition was the most helpful to me. Saying good-bye to the only family and friends that you have known during your life is hard. This section shows how other seniors handled saying good bye to life long friends and saying hello to students on their new campuses. High school seniors have a hard time showing emotions and admitting to others that they are afraid of what lays ahead. This book explains different aspects of college life and how to handle them. The best way to learn about college life is from people who have experienced it. Chicken Soup for the College Soul is made up entirely of stories people have written about their college experiences. If you know a high school student I highly recommend purchasing this book for them. Going to college is going to be scary, but having a book full of people who have been in my situation and survived will give me the courage to conquer college life.

This was a very funny and entertaining book!

I found Chicken Soup for the College Soul is a very humorus and entertaining book. In many ways this book hit home, and not only because I am a college student myself, but because I am a young adult and going through many changes in life, as are the writers in this book. This is a very easy to read book because it is seperated into many different very touching, humorous, and informational stories. This book gives young adults and collage students a good chance to hear stories about other people and and there reactions to certain incedents. It may even give the reader a chance to learn from there mistakes, or even just be able to relate to someone else. In the fast moving world today it is very easy to forget that there are other people dealing with the same everyday stresses and challenges, and this book gives the reader a chance to sit down and find the humor and the sadness to alot of these experiences. I highly recommend anyone to read this book.

Totally inspiring

This book is such a success! It illustrates college times in a very heart-felt way, I should say, it doesn't only talk about the tough times, but also the happy and funny part of being a college student. This books also offers hope when you are lack of it, so do buy it!
