Three Rivers Press How to Win at College: Simple Rules for Success from Star Students

It's amazing

Loved it, had some great tips for university students! I'm from England, and though it is more directed towards the American education system, most of it still applied. I'd definitely recommend it to prospective uni students!

If you're looking at reviews for this book then you're likely looking for some insight into the college process on a deeper level than surface-level advice. In that case, you should undoubtedly get this book. I'm going to college next year, and I'm the type of person who copes with things by reading about them. Books like this book are the reason I do that. It's clear and easy to read, it's direct, it's straightforward, and best of all, it's full of simple advice that can dramatically improve one's college experience. It provides this advice without being pretentious- the book's title turned me off at first, and while the author certainly has a very pragmatic approach to college life, he decries resume-padding and the like. I've recommended it to many of my classmates, and it will serve as a sort of bible for me next year. As much as it's helpful on a practical level, it's helped me in another way, too. I went looking for books because I was nervous about next year. This book helped reassure me by encouraging me to focus on the exciting aspects rather than the unnerving ones. If only I could get such a powerful effect every time I spent ten dollars. A few years later: This review actually was written by my then high-school-age son, and I have to tell you that he went on to have an absolutely stellar, meaningful career at an Ivy League college. During those four years, and since, he has frequently referenced this book, and its author, whose other books he later read, as having been his primary source of guidance about how to handle his undergraduate life.

That look you get when your child unwraps that book you've been talking about: perfect. That dawning recognition that his parents have it all planned out for him, well-ahead of time, coupled by the slightly-sinking feeling he has as he realizes that re-enacting the voyage of the Kon-Tiki next year will probably be postponed: Parenting Level 100.
