Benefit from their wisdom...
All roommates are weird. The key is realizing that your roommate is weird...and deciding to get along with her anyway"
-- Senior, Biology, Seattle Pacific University

A professor will not flunk you if he knows your name.
-- Graduate, Sports Management, University of Kansas

...and learn from their mistakes:
After a semester of eating in the dining hall, I quickly learned to steer clear of anything with "medley," "hash," or "casserole" in the name; anything "over rice;" and meat with gray sauce.
-- Senior, Biology, Oberlin College

I regret not changing my major. I thought I had to know what I wanted to do when I got to college, so I stuck with it even though I wasn't satisfied...
-- Senior, Film, Northwestern University

Introduction

Hi, we're Trent and Seppy. This book will give you the inside scoop on how to survive and thrive in college. We've searched the country for the best advice from current college students and recent grads about how to make college fun, exciting, and rewarding. They've lived and learned, and now you get to benefit from their wisdom -- and learn from their mistakes. We guarantee 100 percent that the advice in this book will be unbiased and straightforward and that it will help you succeed in college (if not, the book makes a great coaster).*

We'll be popping in every now and then with survival tips: notes, suggestions, and our expert advice. Why should you listen to us? We've both worked with thousands of students, helping them with admissions, test prep, and financial aid advice. Our comments are based on our own experience and what we've learned by speaking to students and college personnel throughout the years.

We hope you enjoy this book -- however you decide to use it. Now that we've exchanged introductions, you're ready to discover how Once Upon a Campus...students went to college and lived to tell about it.

Before heading off for college what if you could get tips and advice from hundreds of other people who have already been there. "Once Upon a Campus" is a collection of short quotes from hundreds of successful college students. The quotes cover every aspect of college life from what the students liked about college, to what they did not like, to what they would do different if they had a chance. Specific areas of advice include admissions, dealing with housing, roommates, campus safety, dating, time management, studying, dining, money management, dealing with professors, and study techniques. If you are heading off for college or have a child, neighbor, or friend heading off for the first time this is full of good advice and would make a great gift. "Once Upon a Campus" is a highly recommended read for first time college students.
