Book Reviews of Getting the Best Out of College: A Professor, a Dean, & a Student Tell You How to Maximize Your Experience
Book Review: Here's the 'secret handshake' for thriving in college
Summary: 5 Stars
This book ought to be required reading for all entering college freshmen. It's humorous, practical, and doesn't waste a word. The breadth of issues is perfectly complemented by just the appropriate depth of coverage. I learned these things as a college counselor and found these authors to be very up to date and tuned in to the reality of college and college students. It can innoculate students against the common errors and prepare them for real adventure. I'm gift wrapping it for my son as he finishes his college applications and requiring it before he finishes high school.

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.General Books
