| This book makes me feel like I have a thousand friends to call for advice. One person suggests that Freshmen should check out ratemyprofessor.com I had no idea that that existed. There's also advice on how to study, where to meet new friends, partying etc. The book's pretty funny, too. |
Awesome book. Easy read.

| It's great to get so much advice from people who have recently gone through freshman year of college (much better than books written by school counsellors or authors who haven't been in college for 20 years). |
Loved the different voices and advice

Once I took a minute to adjust to the different voices and seemingly different tactics that varied from page to page of this advice book. I fell in love with it!
There is guidance for every type of Freshman entering college and this book treats each reader as an individual. One size does not fit all and this book has more than enough to fit any need.
A great overview of the complexities and variations that freshmen will face when they go away to college for the first time.
A great book! |
Surviving isn't all this helps you with!

How to Survive Your Freshman Year (Hundreds of Heads Survival Guides) would have been a great graduation gift for me when I was off to college. My Freshman year was filled with more surprises and awkward situations than I would like to remember. This book lets you know about everything you need to be on the look out for, before it happens!
If you know someone who's on their way to college, this is a must have book. It gives you great advice about roommates, studying, relationships, classes and more. If it has to do with the great college experience, this book will tell you about it. And you know it's good information, because it's coming from people who have survived their own Freshman year. |
