It's fun to read and is a good resource from real students who have been through their college freshman year! I've already bought it for four recent high school graduates. I think it's the perfect graduation gift.

It's great to get so much advice from people who have recently gone through freshman year of college (much better than books written by school counsellors or authors who haven't been in college for 20 years).

This is the best gift for a high school senior. The new one is even better than the last edition....

This book makes me feel like I have a thousand friends to call for advice. One person suggests that Freshmen should check out ratemyprofessor.com I had no idea that that existed. There's also advice on how to study, where to meet new friends, partying etc. The book's pretty funny, too.
