Advisor starred review: “If you buy just one book on adjusting to college for your student, this is the one. Straight talk from real students, it’s the one book I wish I could give to all incoming freshmen…and have them read it in the car on the way back home after freshman orientation. It’s that spot-on.” –Pat Jeffery, University Studies Academic Advisor with over 25 years’advising experience at UD.
