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

5.0 out of 5 stars Great gift from mom!, January 25, 2006
By college dude (North Carolina) - See all my reviews
My mom got this book for me, so of course, I ignored it for a while. But then I actually picked it up and thought it was really helpful - some points the student authors make I didn't think about and I think will help me act like less of a dork when I am off to college in the fall.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally!, May 5, 2005
Finally, someone wrote a book about freshman year of college that is worth reading. It really covers all angles from academics to partying to roommates, etc. But what really works are all the quotes and stories by actual students mixed in. Every high school senior should read this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nick B. Herberger, August 2, 2007
I think this book "hit it out of the park" when it comes to giving it's readers a ton of information about the freshman year experience. The author's had an insiders perspective as students in the midst of it and do a great job recounting their experiences and drawing from those experiences practical applications for all.

The freshman year in college is a big deal, a HUGE deal ... it is a transition that few parents and students are prepared for -- what I refer to as "The Perfect Storm". After working on campus in Student Life for many years I have seen how difficult this transition is first-hand. The Department of Education has shown that more that 1/3 of all new freshman will drop out before making it to their sophomore year and fewer than half of all new freshman will graduate from college.

"Navigating Your Freshman Year" gives us some great "real-life" advice on how to weather the storm known as the Freshman Year in college!
