Book Description

Today's college students face many challenges such as overabundant credit card offers, sky-high tuition, obscenely expensive textbooks, etc. Unlike most books in this genre, "Go to college without going broke" was written by an actual college student that used those tips to get through college. Instead of generic, old-fashioned, one-size-fits-all advice, Grigory Lukin offers a unique perspective on saving one's time, money and sanity while in pursuit of a college degree.

The 33 tips contained in this New York Times-featured book are guaranteed to help current college students, as well as those who plan to go to college in the near future. That makes this book a perfect present to every young person, as well as required reading for everyone interested in going back to school.

I thought the book was fine until it got to the part about not joining a fraternity or a sorority. StarGazerLily  |  1 reviewer made a similar statement

5.0 out of 5 stars Great advice! December 29, 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
As a college student, I already knew some of the tips in this book, but the tips I didn't know will save me a fortune. :-) I don't want to post any spoilers, but the tip about getting free textbooks was nothing short of brilliant.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Helpful January 29, 2013
By Sherry
Format:Kindle Edition
Lukin made some very interesting points about saving money. I have made use of his advice to buy my books online, I was able to buy three books for the price my bookstore was charging for a brand new math book. Pick up this book if you're starting college or starting a new semester and compare how much you spent other semesters to how much you spend after reading this book, you'll be amazed at the saving.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting January 15, 2013
By Scott
Format:Kindle Edition
Most of the items in here are pretty basic and usually you find out about this once you get to campus. The chapter on text booms would be worth the price of the book. In today's internet age, there are boundless opportunities to find cheap text books. I have taken classes where the text books cost more than the class.
