I purchased for a couple of high school girls headed off to college...thought it would be a great book for each of them to get a head start on what to expect. LOTS of TIPS! No time to read the whole book, but I definitely read bits and pieces. My favorite I believe was Tip# 33. I'll let you check it out. Wish I had had a this book when I went to college.

I bought this for my high school senior hoping she might at least take it with her to college. To my surprise, she's already halfway through reading it and says it's funny and gives great advice. This book doesn't shy away from any awkward scenarios. Will definitely recommend to others.

Our daughter was nervous going into middle school, so we got a bunch of books from the library. I read them and then we'd go over the information together that summer before 6th grade on what to expect. I think that helped her a lot. Now she has 2 years under her belt at a community college and will be transfering in the fall to a college where she'll live in a dorm away from us. Since the middle school books helped, I decided I'd get books for Going to College Books. I got several from the library and the one that really gave the most information is from this book. This would be a great gift for a Senior to read before they attend college. This book had information from the author and college students. It's broken down in is an easy read and talks a lot of about going in with the "mind set of 90% amazing and 10% difficult. When it comes to college with realistic expectations, you can be patient, create a world of options, and be more forgiving of yourself and others. You can be imperfect and allow yourself time to figure out what you love and don't love. If you can live to face the 10% that's difficult, life will get better faster. It's just the best book out there speaking about College Living, Classes, homesickness, more homework,being a name with a face to professors, finding your people, dating, party scene, money, loans, scholarships and how to find more money for you. This is a must have book. The author also has a book for parents on what to expect, how to support your child during this new point in both your child and your lives without a child home.

My son is not typically a reader, but I bought this book for him for high school graduation. I was hoping he'd read it as he was headed off to a large 4 year university and was hoping it would help set some expectations. Social media sometimes leave kids with unrealistic expectations. He DID read it and seemed to enjoy it. The book helped set expectations for living with people, interacting with new people and he even noted that book said you may have to go to some things by yourself. it was exactly what he needed and it's on his way in college!
