A practical college manual with a sense of humor!,
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Get into and Graduate from College in 4 Years With Good Grades, a Useful Major, a Lot of Knowledge, a Little Debt, Great Friends, Happy Parents (Paperback)
Thoughtful advice on everything from selecting a major to partying to pop quizzes. I enjoyed the planning worksheets in the book - they helped me organize my thoughts and prioritize my game plan. Great illustrations!

Great for high school juniors and seniors.,
By Daniela Gattello, Teacher (Maryland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Get into and Graduate from College in 4 Years With Good Grades, a Useful Major, a Lot of Knowledge, a Little Debt, Great Friends, Happy Parents (Paperback)
It was nice to finally find a book that high school juniors and senior want to read. The other books on the market dealing with the high school to college transition are too boring and preachy! I highly recommend this book for college prep counseling programs because I know how busy juniors and seniors are. It covers very serious topics in a very open, fresh manner. The books make great graduation gifts too!
