Summary: 'the Best Four Years of Your Life'
Comment: If college is going to be the high point of your life, just go kill yourself now.

Summary: A girl's guide to college
Comment: Loved this practical guide to college life. I bought it for my daughter who will be a Freshman this Fall. Tips on decorating a dorm room, roommate survival tips, guys, dating and sex, even how to prepare during the summer. What sets this book apart from others is it is tailored for the challenges a girl faces in college - how I wish I'd had this book when I went to college! Some things are common sense (ex - don't take clothing that is hard to take care of), others are quite clever (ex - wait and do some of your college clothing shopping till you get to college. This way you can get a better sense of what people are wearing). Especially loved the bottom line pearls of wisdom highlighted in each topic and the 21 rules for making the most of college. As a parent I've tried to prepare my child to be successful wherever she goes, this book is an excellent tool towards that goal.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Eh. Best for People entering college, that are kinda naive.
Comment: Good info, but its more of life skills, I think this would be a great read for girls that have not had alot of tribulation in their lives. not so good for girls that have had to grow up before there time.

Summary: A Decent College Guide - Well Done
Comment: As a parent of multiple kids either in college, or about to enter college, I have done my best to try to find my kids books to help them be successful. I believe as a parent, I have an obligation to give my kids the best chance of academic success as possible.
Having said that, I have recently gone through a stack of college guides. I bought this one specifically for my daughter. I have to be honest, this book wasn't bad. The advice on alcohol and sex was first rate. Had the book had a wider audience than just girls, I think I would have given it four stars.
Solid advice all the way through.
However, as a parent, I believe in making multiple points of view available to my kids. College 101: The Book Your College Does Not Want You to Readwas definitely written from the male point of view. However, the advice was so damn candidate and brutally honest, I gave my daughter a copy of it. She laughed her butt off. She liked both books equally. Go figure.

Summary: My Best Books for College Students...
Comment: This certainly ranks up there. My other choices for 2007, hands down:
1) How To Ace Your Way Through College & Still Have a Life
2) The MLA Handbook
3) Fiske Guide to Colleges

WELCOME TO COLLEGE, GIRLS! You've been waiting for this. Four years of freedom, parties, guys, and new experiences. You're bound to have a blast no matter what, but surviving college won't be easy. Are you ready for it? Don't fret, ladies, this guide will tell you everything you need to know about getting through the best four years of your life. It's got the basics that your mom would want you to know, like how to do your laundry, how to manage your money, and how to survive your classes. But it'll also spill the juice on the things you care about, like how to make your shoebox of a dorm room into your own little castle, how to keep fit and stay healthy, how to throw a great party, and how to deal with guys and sex (two things that for some reason are difficult to handle separately). It's a guide just for you girls, written by a girl who's been there.
