review 1: This book is really helpful and I actually read it in a day. Some of the information is common sense to me, but I really liked the tips and stories from current and past college students about a variety of topics. And the book splits up topics into chapters, so one can come back to this book at any time (I know I might). There was a lot of statistics when talking about certain topics, and I like that this book and the advice was backed up by facts.
review 2: I received this book from a good reads contest.The Freshman Survival Guide by Nora Bradbury-Haehl and Bill McGarvey is an easy-to-read book which is, essentially, a very practical handbook for the beginning college freshman. The book is divided into twenty-five chapters with each chapter beginning with a ... moreSurvival Strategy that sets up the purpose of the chapter and ending with The Takeaway which summarizes the main points one should remember from the chapter. Both of these features are always coupled with a featured icon throughout each chapter of the book. Other such features included in each chapter are an on-line survival guide and anecdotal boxes and sometimes a seek/find box. The layout of the specials features and the text within each chapter break up what could have been a boring read for teens and turns it into an up-beat, informative book which is a must for the entering college freshman. I highly recommend this book as a graduation gift for all high school seniors whether or not they plan on attending college. Many life-lessons are expanded in this book that has applications for one in or out of a college setting. My mother read this book, too, and said that all parents need to read this book to appreciate the different challenges faced by today’s youth and that college freshman seminar instructors should have this book to give to their advisees.it. less
