Customer Reviews

This is a REAL LIFE book about college.

This book is hilarious and useful. My son, hardly the motivated to study type, has managed B's throughout his Freshman year at Penn State. He readily admits to using the strategies in this book and I can't help but laugh. His uncle bought him the book at a garage sale and it has saved us thousands of dollars. Hard to find additional copies to send as gifts which is the only downside with the book. This book warrants an immediate reprint.

I'm buying this book for every student I know.

It took me seven years, three universities and tens of thousands of dollars to figure out what Brady Lessard has 'distilled' in this tounge-in-cheek guide to college survival. Common sense, down-to-earth advice combined with strategies on working the system and making it work for you are covered in amusing style. Plenty of stories that made me say "I knew that guy when I was at school!"

Why wasn't this out years ago?

This book nails down very topic that a college grad will confirm. (They'll all do so with a huge smile and lots of laughter also.) Mr. Lessard lets every reader know what the "Almighty College Degree" is all about. He lets you know about the secrets that grads learn after countless hours and hundreds, perhaps thousands, of dollars in wasted effort. My only wish is that the book came out years ago. It would have saved me from dozens of all night crams before finals. I would shake your hand if I could Mr. Lessard. You have done something that will save people lots of money. I look forward to any other "Life" advise you may have. It's truely refreshing to have something funny AND honest come to the public view. Thank you.

Great book for frustrated parents with kids in college.

This book was fantastic! After spending thousands of dollars getting my first two kids through college in FIVE years, I have seen the light! This guy knows exactly what he's talking about and got my third son out of college early! I figure my $7.00 investment saved my wife and I over $15000.00 for an extra year of tuition, books, etc. Thank the author for me, it's brilliant!

A tongue in cheek book with surprizingly good advise!

Alot of the advise is tongue in cheek and the book is definetly written from a mans point of view. On the other hand, if you are open minded there is more good, practical advice in here for students starting out than anything else I have ever read!!! I have gotten copies for my young cousins who start this fall - both women!
