Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

What parents may not know about sending their first child to college fills a large volume--in this case, a detailed, step-by-step guide to both the undisputable facts and the judgment calls of the first college year. Knowing what to say to your child, how to say it, and when is as important as purchases, packing and moving in, billpaying, and such typical challenges as roommates, grades, social life, and avoiding risks. Although rather dry and matter-of-fact, Borden and colleagues' practical adviser provides neophyte parents of a college student with informed insights into college life and tips for making their and their child's transition a smooth one. Kathryn Carpenter --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bedside Guide, November 5, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: In Addition to Tuition: The Parents' Survival Guide to Freshman Year of College (Paperback)
Something every parent should read. I teach at a University and this book is very helpful at reminding parents what it's like to go off to college for the first time. After reading the book parents usually feel more empowered to help their children. A perfect accompaniment to this book is Major in Success by Patrick Combs. It changes lives.
