 Rating:  - "Great Advice From Those Who Have Already Been There"Reviewed by: Stephanie Rollins for ReviewYourBook.com 7/2008 What a great graduation gift! Going to college right out of high school is one of the biggest transitions one can make. This book is filled with practical advice that is given in short blurbs. You can read it in one setting or just a few minutes at a time. There are chapters about: Money, what to take with you, and social situations.

But that's the beauty of it - there's plenty to every side of all the arguments in here. Does this book tackle touchy subjects like drinking, sex, and questionable academic practices? ...

I would devour it in one gulp racing from one quote to another, from one bit of dubious advice to the next at breakneck speed. In fact to save a few bucks I might read it while hanging out at Borders. Would I be any the wiser or better informed? Would this book actually help me to survive my freshmen year? Actually it might.
