Summary: good/funny read
Comment: I got this for my nephew who just went to college and he has found it very funny. He likes all the survival books and he said that him and his friends at college like this one
Customer Rating:
Summary: Same Satire, new topic
Comment: It is a pretty good little book in the same line of other "Worst Case Scenario Guide of...." Nothing spectacular, but if you like the other books, you will enjoy this one.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not much help
Comment: I read through this book within a half hour, largely because many of the topics were nonapplicable to me. Because of my type of school and the kind of choices I make, a lot of the advice will never be relevant since I won't be in those situations; i.e. one night stands, keggers, etc. Many of the suggestions are dishonest solutions to situations in which you should just suck it up and at least pretend to be an adult, ineffective and unacceptable to professors (such as fake crying to get something or blaming a broken alarm clock for missed class), or just pathetic (mailing laundry home - how hard is it to throw clothes and cleaner into a machine and wait?). However, if getting wasted is a primary goal of college for you, then this book may be helpful. Its layout is convinient because it doesn't waste your time with filler. Overall, I didn't find this book very helpful or relevant.

Summary: A Good Worst-Case Scenario Book for Your College Student
Comment: If you've never read a Worst-Case Scenario book before, read one. Each one is highly irreverent in its own way. This one has practical advice like "How to Ask Your Parents for Money" and "How to Avoid Going to the Wrong College", but also has goofy sections like "How to Put Out a Microwave Fire".
Even the goofy sections have practical advice, although hopefully your college student will never have to use it.
These books are a lot of fun. Check out the others, also.

The college years are a time of noble pursuit of knowledge, self-betterment—and unending peril! Students are at risk from the moment they receive their acceptance letters. Fortunately, the authors of the phenomenally best-selling Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook series have come to the rescue, offering all-new, hands-on, step-by-step instructions for surviving the worst that higher education has to offer, on campus and off. Learn how to identify a party school, engineer a hookup, survive "the spins," and escape a stadium riot. Discover the best way to sleep in class, pass a test you haven't studied for, avoid the "freshman fifteen," and pull an all-nighter. With practical advice for avoiding laundry and identifying unsafe institutional food, along with an appendix of excuses for missed deadlines and a back-up diploma, this is truly required reading for all college students—and a perfect high school graduation present.
