I sent my kids to college for THIS?,
By Renee Thorpe (Karangasem, Bali) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Real Freshman Handbook (Paperback)
Mind-bogglingly rude kick-off to dog-eat-dog life or merely a tasteless attempt to be funny?Examples of what you'll find in this book... tips for disguising (not fixing) holes in the wall of your dorm room (to escape damage fines) and how to lie on your roommate survey so you'll get someone neat who might pick up after you. Cover claims to being a totally honest guide, but it's more like a primer in cruelty and the worst sort of values for dealing with people, personal property, your school, etc. Few genuinely redeeming sections in a book with an attitude that would get you kicked out of Kindergarten.

A Real Disappointment,
This review is from: The Real Freshman Handbook (Paperback)
Verbose. Few, if any, good ideas. Covers broad range of topics with minimal information of value under each heading. Writing style is painful to read. The author is obviously intoxicated with the exurberance of her own verbosity.Buy "Major in Success" by Patrick Combs. This is a valuable book with helpful and insightful ideas.

Great Campus Friend.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Real Freshman Handbook (Paperback)
This book is a fantastic general guide to going to college for the first time and is perfect for answering all the questions you may not want to ask. I teach at a University and suggest "Major in Success" by Patrick Combs with "The Real Freshman Handbook" as the perfect combo to college life and persuing your dream job.
