I was required to have this book for a GUID 5 "College Success Skills" class. If that's why you're looking at it, then you don't have much of a choice. Otherwise, look somewhere else. I've found it nearly worthless at helping me adjust to college--all it seems to do is tell me what I already know (it points out what you need to "work on" in your life but gives you no suggestions on where to begin working). I'm surprised that the review says that it doesn't talk down to students--I think that's exactly what it does. It relies heavily on statistical stereotypes, and dispenses little practical advice. It seems as though anything they say that actually APPLIES to a person's real life, that person would most likely already know.
