Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Gr. 10-12. There's lots of good advice in the pages of this guide, written and edited by college students and recent graduates and broken up into short chapters. Pulled quotes, sidebars, and bulleted lists will also help the new frosh. It's all very positive and upbeat, verging at times on the preachy. And even though this is written by young people, the book seems to be a little behind the times: concern about loud music in the era of the iPod and dorm phone use in the age of the cell? Leaving home, doing laundry, forming good study habits, finding friends, and seeking help are all dealt with efficiently, if not comprehensively. Another useful title in this series is Getting through College without Going Broke: A Crash Course on Finding Money for College and Making It Last . GraceAnne DeCandido
