Customer Reviews:

Valuable Information for Preparing a College Student for Staying in College

By Phyllis Zimbler Miller "Author/Marketing Cons... - March 22, 2008

Harrison's focus is different from the usual college advice books in that the focus of his book is on actually GRADUATING college. Harrison quotes the dismal statistics of how many students who start college actually finish within six years. Then he gives advice on how to ensure that you (or your child) is one of those who does finish.

Parents may especially appreciate his blunt advice, such as: "You need to know to not listen to all that nonsense about college being a time of 'personal exploration.' At up to $50,000 a year, it's job training."
-- Phyllis Zimbler Miller

Special Gift from Grandma

By Virginia Pence "Grandma Gina" - October 23, 2010

This is a remarkably readable book for young people ready to enter college. The advice is concise, but often presented in a humorous fashion. Because it isn't a wordy tome, the book invites readers to read just a little bit more, and the topics covered are important for consideration.

The fresh advice covers topics today's high school students probably haven't though about, and it may surprise them to learn that there are often a variety of ways to address a problem.

The format invites scanning, and that approach will provide insight into issues that weren't encountered at home or in local schools. All the rumors about the freshman fifteen, roommate problems, teachers' expectations, being home sick, making new friends are covered. The advice is to the point and worthy of consideration.

1001 Things Every College Student Needs to Know is a great gift to a grandchild who will soon be attending college.

must have tome!

By R. Burnett - December 6, 2009

My advice: get this wonderful book for your high school freshman...the tips will help her make the most of what her high school has to offer and be an attractive candidate colleges pursue. My only caveat is #6 on pg. 12 I think those scores are way too low to gain admission to top schools.
