knowledgable and caring advice to optimize your college experience

This guy is an experienced teacher, and, to judge from the tone of his advice, a very caring man. I will be going to my first "sleepaway" college in the fall, and I am really looking forward to implementing the authors eminently practical tips for living life to the fullest in college, while staying centered and keeping up with your studies. Covers thoroughly all aspects of college, from romance to studying habits. I just scanned it last night, and I intend to peruse it thoroughly tonight. Excellent handbook, and should be with the student when he arrives at his new college.
