Summary: A Must For All Pre-Frosh
Review: Adapting to college life can be a daunting experience. As a current college sophomore, I was asked to advise my younger brother (now a senior in high school) on how to integrate into the university environment. After recounting all of my own experiences, I realized that I neglected many essential elements of freshman life. So, I turned to the available literature. With the exception of Allison Lombardo's, none of the books get the job done. Lombardo provides a comprehensive account of freshman life that will benefit anyone in high school who reads it. The book is a quick, fun, and easy read; I only wish that someone had given me such great tips before I got to college.

Review: I bought this book for my daughter who's going to school next fall and for my son who's already at school this year - and they both loved it and thanked me!! The guide is filled with so many great pieces of advice, from the students themselves, and it covers every topic I could think of regarding freshman year. Parents of college-bound students: this is a perfect graduation or back-to-school gift!
