I gave this book to my son the week before he started college. The advice in it helped him earn a 3.8 grade point average his first quarter. The social and medical advice is priceless.
The wisdom contained in the book should be imprinted in every freshman's memory. I also appreciate the doctor's authoritative and practical advice on health.

As a recent graduate of the University of Washington Seattle, I wish I had had Dr. Kadar's book on my shelf as a reference my freshman year. He offers indispensable information, advice, and techniques with which to make your college years both productive and enjoyable. Written in a straightforward voice with wit, intelligence, and charm this is a fun read for all college-bound students, no matter the degree level.
