Summary: Too Cute - No Substance
Review: Honestly, this book is in love with its own cuteness. Not only is it tiny (yes, you get very little physical book for the money), it just isn't very helpful. I purchased this book as a graduation gift earlier this year, and decided not to give it. The pages are filled with absolute drivel. I bought an entire set of how to survive college books as part of a gift basket.The better books (in no particular order) would include:
(All are available from Amazon.com) * Confessions of a College Freshman (ISBN: 1589196600 ) - a good solid read with heart felt advice. * College 101: The Book Your College Does Not Want You To Read (ISBN: 0966412206) The fact that college professionals panned it - should tell you something -- it is HONEST. Not to mention downright hilarious. The author holds back nothing! A very insightful author reveals the dirt on higher education. * Been There, Should've Done That (ISBN: 0965608611) - just honest to goodness truth and common sense. Good practical advice, and well thought out. It is a quick, easy, but well worth reading book.

Summary: What a great gift.
Review: I've been to nine graduation parties this spring and I've found the perfect gift: Stephabie Edwards's book. Now heading into fall, I'm considering sending it to those college-bound relatives and family friends who I didn't get to visit.
It's Life 101 for the college-bound. The college newbies' bible.
My only problem with the book is its frank truthfulness: it's great for women. Though it's a sound, smart read for men as well, I'm hoping Ms. Edwards can get to work on a similar title for glossy-eyed male college newcomers too -- God knows I certainly needed it.

Summary: Very practical and funny!
Review: My older sister sent this to me out of the generosity of her heart. I read all the way through it and I just love it. I took it to school and showed as many girls as I could, and they all enjoyed it too. It's really a must, and it makes a great gift. If I wasn't the youngest child, I'd get one for my younger sibling.

Summary: Great Tips!
Review: This book shares tips I'm sure I wouldn't have gotten otherwise. The fun and personal style makes it easy and enjoyable to read. If you like this book, you'll love "Major in Success", by Patrick Combs.

Summary: A cute book full of useful tips for the college fresman girl
Review: This is a darling little book that makes a perfect gift for a little sister heading off to college for the first time..."from a big sister who's been there." Covering everything from frat boys to finances, classes to Cliff's Notes, this is a cute litle guide for the first big year of college.

Summary: cute book, but...
Review: This is a really cute book, but upon opening it the disappointment was great. It reminds me of those 101 things to do in a bathroom type of lists that are passed around in emails; the advices were THAT short and many were common sense, about 10 advices in the book actually were helpful but those would easily have been found in other books. If you're looking for a college prep guide, don't waste your money. If you just want a cute book to give as presents, then by all means...

Summary: cute, but a waste of money
Review: This tiny little book has one "thing a college girl should know" on each page. The advice is certainly not groundbreaking, but it is rather fun to read. The only problem is that, as each page contains only one sentence, the book can be read in about five minutes. To me, five minutes of reading are not worth the $5 price. If you are looking for a book to help you out in college, or need a high school graduation present for someone, may I recommend the much more complete and valuable "The Real Freshman Handbook" by Jennifer Hanson or "College Survival" by Greg Gottesman and Daniel Baer.
