Summary: AT LAST! AN ADVICE BOOK WITH REALISTIC ADVICE!!!
Review: I don't intend to go to college again--I much prefer to teach. But if I ever decide to take the plunge, this is the Bible I'll be carrying around. Where was this book when I was starting college? If it had been around, I probably would have ignored it, but I'd like to think that somebody who really cared about me would have hogtied me, duct-taped my mouth, and read this book to me page by page. COLLEGE PLANNING IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY by Chris Lee is a subversive book: it tells you the right things any college guidebook should tell you, but it sneaks in a whole host of wonderful bits of additional helpful information, plus easy-to-digest doses of wisdom. Author Lee throws in all those things you really need to know--such as how to survive politically around snooty faculty advisors and noisy dorm-mates, how to minimize your after-college debt load, how to deal with text anxiety, how to keep studying in the midst of personal crises. In other words, Chris Lee is telling you things your parents don't have time to tell you, or things they don't even know themselves. He's kind of acting like a Father figure for you--and believe me, that's what you need in college--someone who'll advise you without judging or criticizing you. He even tells you how to survive in a potential barroom brawl--and come out cool and collected, and in one piece! A nicely done book that gives you exactly what you need--and more--just when you need it the most! --Jim Reed, author of DAD'S TWEED COAT: SMALL WISDOMS HIDDEN COMFORTS UNEXPECTED JOYS ...
