5.0 out of 5 stars they've done it again April 8, 2009

By M. Face

Format:Paperback

Ok, call me biased. I have a story in this volume about a fantastic professor I had while attending Coastal Carolina University. So, of course I think it's a great book. But I have had the pleasure of putting aside my other responsibilities and becoming completely engrossed in others' stories for the past week and a half. I am extremely impressed with the story selection and the overall "feel" of this one. Great job again Chicken Soup editors!

I must also say, for those who may be interested in contributing in the future, their team is fantastic to work with.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Stories that captivate! April 6, 2009

By R. Smith

Format:Paperback

I thoroughly enjoyed reading the many stories about campus life. I did not go to college, but my children have and it was great to peek inside and see how strange, yet exciting college can be. On a personal note, my daughter, Stefanie, wrote her own story about a tragic experience while attending NIU. Her story is published in this Chicken Soup for the Soul edition.

I got this because I feIt like I was in a rut (and I'm a junior in college). So I bought it. Boy, do I feel lucky. Some of thesse problems that others have had makes mine look miniscule. Also, it made me wish I would have studied abroad. It is a great book for in coming freshman, or even someone in college.
