FROM THE FIRST EDITION:
“This book is written by people who know how to get students to do their best. For decades, the authors have been helping students succeed in the most challenging environments and now their insights are available to you.”
—MIKE “COACH K” KRZYZEWSKI, BASKETBALL COACH AT DUKE UNIVERSITY
“This comprehensive guide will help students and parents navigate the full college experience, so they can take advantage of all that it has to offer from day one. I highly recommend it.”
—GORDON GEE, PRESIDENT OF OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY
“Amid the glut of guidebooks about selecting and getting into college, very few have talked about what to do once you get there. This witty, wise, and down-to-earth guide admirably fills that gap. It is a wonderful resource for students and their parents.”

“A refreshing, smart, and useful guide to college that should be basic required reading for incoming freshmen everywhere.”
