 Excellent Book with Practical Advice! October 11, 2009
Book Bum (CA, U.S.A.)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book offers very sound and well-thought-out advice! You can open this book to any page and learn important points that will help any student in college. I didn't find anything in this book which made me feel that the advice was simply the author's point-of-view. And if it is, this is a very knowledgeable man whose words ring true. This is a great book for anybody about to enter college, someone who is already in college or any parent. I have read this book from cover to cover, as well as "1001 Things Every Teen Should Know Before They Leave Home". Both are excellent and would make great gifts for any teenager or parent. Buy the book and decide for yourself.
Most Excellent September 1, 2009

"1001 Things Every College Student Needs to Know" is an excellent book for a gift to a HS senior even before they have graduated. I got a copy for my son and for many of his friends as Christmas gifts. So glad those folks who do not like the book have looked at it. The book has good and innocent humor and what teenager doesn't need a bit of innocent humor in their lives. Thank you for reading my review.
 Cute little book July 24, 2009

Unlike many other reviewers here, I didn't expect this to be some volumnous guide to college. It's a cute little book with one sentence long statements about college, studying, college life and so on.
I thought it had lots of great information. I thought it was a really cute book.
 Religious propaganda July 19, 2009

It's really obvious that the author is a Christian.
Now, I don't have a problem with people of religions.
But I do have a problem when an author who is supposed to give advice on colleve life says, "You need to know not to leave your faith back home.", "You need to protect your beliefs because they will be challenged quite often." (Yes, college is when religious BS stops), "You need to know that successful students have a belief system.", etc.
Please, this doesn't belong in college resource section - put this in the f***ing Christian section.
 Some Amusing Tips, But... April 19, 2009

I'm about to start college and my mom saw this book and thought it'd be good to get for me. At first, I thought it was great. The tips were amusing and somewhat helpful. Then I ran into a chapter called, "You Need to Know Not to Leave Your Faith at Home."
I'm an Atheist, but I don't have any problem with religion being discussed in a book, such as this, as long as it's general and not picking out a certain religion. However, it is OBVIOUS that this writer is a Christian, as the entire chapter refers to the Christian god.
I am extremely frustrated with this and find it insulting that I keep being told I "need to have God" in my life to be successful or happy or whatever. I don't need propaganda from a damn book about COLLEGE.
I gave it two stars for the amusement factor, but other than that, this book isn't worth it. I recommend The Naked Roommate, which is a much better read and MUCH more informative.
