Book Reviews of Been There, Should've Done That: 995 Tips for Making the Most of College
Book Review: Good graduation gift for college-bound kids
Summary: 4 Stars
The book covers a lot of territory from roommates to study habits to gaining weight (aka "the freshman 15"). On the whole, the advice was spot on and could only help incoming freshmen. Scared and clueless, they would get some insight on what lies ahead in a wide variety of college settings, academic as well as social. The Top Ten Ways to Make Your Roommate Happy (page 37) is hilarious as well as helpful, and includes: "Remember, it's a dorm room, not a romantic hideaway" and "Flush!"
There are pros and cons though to quoting former students' experiences. While they relate their experiences on a variety of subjects, the for/against quotes might send mixed messages. Some say rooming with their best friend was a fantastic experience, while others say it was a huge mistake. On the postive side, knowing others opinions might at least make these incoming freshmen think twice on these issues before making their own decisions.
There is much to be learned from reading this book and it truly has the best intentions for its readers. The humorous slant and less-than-wordy style will appeal to its intended audience. It would make a great gift for graduation or even sooner. 50 Ways to Leave Your Mother
