Summary: Necessity for a college kit
Review: A very good read that will keep one's attention until the end. Although much of it will strike a chord as common sense, it naturally wouldn't dawn upon most for at least a year or more. Since Been There... is made up of quotes from college students, it reads more like a conversation. All the ideas are down to earth & they sound much better coming from those there than from adults who have been away for some time.

Summary: Very informative on college life. A must for freshmen!
Review: An excellent quick-read that gets straight to the heart of the matter when it comes to college life. It's only fault is that it is a little biased, ethnically, in the area of Greek life. African-American fraternities/sororities do not go through a rush period; the process is different in many respects.

Summary: Great college guide
Review: As a senior at Harvard I've read a lot of books for college students and I found this book simple yet informative. It's tips from student's for student's. Short sweet and smart. I feel like this is a good book for college freshman but it didn't help me much after my first semester. I also purchased Major In Success by: Patrick Combs and I found it to be extremely helpful for making the most of all my college years. Major In Success is the perfect companion to this book.

Summary: Packed with info for surviving and thriving in college.
Review: Face it: Kids listen to other kids more readily than to parents or teachers. That's the beauty of this little book. Just about all of its pithy advice -- on everything from coping with roommate troubles and campus crime to developing good study habits -- comes from college students themselves. Easy reading, it's the perfect book to send off with your favorite college students in the fall

Summary: Practical Tips for College Bound Freshmen
Review: I buy this book every spring as a graduation gift for young friends who are college bound. No heavy reading required, it's full of quick, practical tips and helpful hints from other students who have been there before. I wish I had had something like this when I went off to college years ago. It would have saved the frustration of learning the hard way -- by experience.

Summary: Fantastic Book!
Review: I recieved the first edition of this handy little book upon graduating from high school and read it cover-to-cover in an evening. The basic format of the book is a collection of quotes from college students giving helpful truisms concerning various areas of the college experience. The editing and format is easy to read and well suited to any incoming freshman or seasoned college student. As someone who actively helped people find their way in college as a resident assistant, I can't recommend this book enough. It explodes myths that many incoming freshman have, such as: college is one huge party, professors will always be looking over my shoulder like high school, college is solely about academics, mommy and daddy need will take care of getting everything signed, paid for etc. In short, its a perfect graduation gift.
