5.0 out of 5 stars Ready to declare my major!, February 10, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Fishing for a Major (Students Helping Students Series) (Paperback)
As a second-semester freshman, I was pretty nervous about having to delcare my major next year--so I'm very glad that my father got this book for me! It really helped me figure out my interests and focus on the major that I think will be right for me. And the advice from current students and recent grads is great, and there's more on the website at studentshelpingstudents.com.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Advice for Freshmen & Sophomores!, December 12, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Fishing for a Major (Students Helping Students Series) (Paperback)
As a sophomore who is totally unsure about what to choose for my major next semester, I came across this book and was very surprised by the concrete advice it gives. There are some really great quotes from current students and recent grads, and the whole book just seemed to motivate me to make the right choice. I know my major choice will not change my life, but it was important to have a hand of encouragement. Fellow sophomores, I highly recommend this book as you fish for your major!

5.0 out of 5 stars Major advice for your college student, December 17, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Fishing for a Major (Students Helping Students Series) (Paperback)
My daughter was struggling this semester to find the right major at college (which she has to declare in the spring). I bought this book for her because I thought it would be very useful with its fellow student quotes and straightforward tone. Well, my daughter read through the book in one night and told me that it's the most useful college guide she's ever read! Thank you to the Students Helping Students series!
