Summary of Getting the Best Out of College: A Professor, a Dean, & a Student Tell You How to Maximize Your Experience

Everyone knows that getting into the college of your choice is tough, but few realize that getting out of college what you want (and need) can be even tougher. Going beyond basic study skills, GETTING THE BEST OUT OF COLLEGE explains everything freshmen orientation doesn't, such as how to develop rewarding relationships with professors, choose a major and create a narrative through your transcript that will move you toward your long-term goals, use lesser-known campus resources to your advantage, manage relationships back home, and more.
