best cultural introduction April 30, 2004 7 out of 7 found this review helpful
My niece is starting college in the states next fall and was very scared because she could not imagine how college life would be in another country. After she read the book, she feels much more comfortable with her year in America. It gave her a sense of college sub-culture and life in a fun way.
awesome book for all incoming freshmen! April 29, 2004 7 out of 7 found this review helpful
This book includes great, honest insight. It's perfect for every incoming freshman who is even the least bit apprehensive to start college. I wish I had read it last year when I was a high school senior... I'd have been a lot more prepared! (Great grad gift idea)!
Great gift book April 26, 2004 I bought this book for my niece when she visited as part of a pre-freshman trip to her two top colleges. She read it cover to cover, alternately chuckling, sighing, and saying "I can't wait." The book was a huge hit. It's funny, poignant, and dead-on accurate.
What to buy for the soon to be highschool grad April 22, 2004 11 out of 11 found this review helpful
This book gets it right. Colege kids talking to others soon to be in their shoes. I didn't agree with all the advice - ok - so my college days were decades ago - but I felt the honesty and helpful spirit of each entry. The format makes sense - the topics are relevant - its a book that will be used before and way after freshman year. Unless you are the kind that thinks that only parental advice is worthwhile - this is a great senior year - freshman year find.
great for parents, too April 21, 2004 9 out of 9 found this review helpful
My son received "How to Survive" as a gift. I grabbed it from his room to leaf through last night. I am impressed that it includes sound advice that I would like to give him, but I'm sure he wouldn't listen to me! I feel that he'll pay attention to the book, because the nuggets are from students close to his age. Also like the layout - you can read it straight through, flip it open to any page or find a chapter for specific topic information. Great graduation present for other seniors. Solves that problem nicely.
