Summary: Every college student should own a copy
Review: This is one book every college student should have, whether your a freshman, a pre-frosh, a sophomore, junior, senior, or even a former college student. No other book accurately depicts the college life of binge drinking,puking, Greek Life,annoying kids in the classroom,and campus living as Ruminations on College Life does.
Don't be surprised if you find yourself laughing out loud while you read this book. I definitely was.

Summary: READ THIS BOOK, IT'S FUNNY!!!!!
Review: This is the funniest book I've ever read. I couldn't beleieve how accurate Aaron was about college life. I graduated May 2002, and he was "dead on" with all college facts. If you're going to college, or even thinking of going, buy this book. It will definitley help you out. You may notice that some words here are misspelled. Mark Twain once said, "it takes a simple mind to under stand a word that is spelled only one way." I choose not to have a simple mind.

Summary: very good
Review: Very true stories about college life, my only complaint is that the book is too short. I found myself hi-liteing(sp) quotes in this book to share with friends later when I was supposed to be hi-liteing "real" books for classes. Can't wait for "Twenty-something life" as I am the same age as the author. This book shows us that the college experience is pretty much the same everywhere, I had similar good times at Eastern Michigan University from 97-01. Wish Karo would come to the Ann Arbor area on his comedy tour!

Summary: save your $$
Review: Wow, is this bad!! Makes me wonder exactly who at Simon & Schuster went to Penn with this unfunny clown. Karo's only talents seem to be a mastery of the obvious, and the ability to get someone to give him a book deal. Do yourself a favor--use the [money] you were going to spend on this book to buy a notbook and some pens. You'll write just as good a book as this one. Oh, and if anyone at S&S went to Tulane, let me know. I can write pages of this [stuff]

Summary: What College is REALLY like...
Review: Wow...I read the entire book in three hours - and I was crying because I laughed so hard. Anyone who's ever been in college or going through it presently, will definitely understand what Aaron Karo is talking about. Parents who have college kids NEED to read the book too - so you understand that random hook-ups and drinking until you puke IS normal even though is doesn't seem like it is. Karo covers everything from crazy Greek life to crazy professors to that one poster in your dorm room that keeps falling on you while you sleep because you're too lazy to put enough tape on it so that it actually stays up. And is it really a prerequisite to like Dave Matthews? If you've been to college, you'll understand his book and if you've graduated, you may just feel a little nostalgic when you're done reading it.

Summary: Very Real and Lots of Fun
Review: You know when you're watching a tv show that is supposed to depict a college scene, and the actors look like they're 40...and in real life, they are married with like seven kids? Well, that's the way most college books tend to relate to college. Like they are written by someone much older who is envisioning what college MUST be like these days.What is so great about this book is that Aaron Karo speaks not only as a real college student, but someone with the wit and intelligence needed to point out the idiocy and humor in the most fundamental parts of fraternity and campus life. I found myself laughing not only from reading the book, but from envisioning what he's talking about...either myself or one of my friends has been, at one time or another, in the situations he smartly describes. It's a great book...for everyone. A lot of fun. And it's true - every word of it.
