Publisher's Synopsis
YOUR REAL FRESHMAN ORIENTATION GUIDE
After years of standardized tests, group projects, community service, and high school woes, you've finally made it to college. So, what now?
Answering the all-too-familiar groan “I wish I'd known that as a freshman,” a prof, a dean, and a recent grad distill more than fifty years of expertise at top colleges into this crash-course guide to success. Proving that it matters less where you go than what you accomplish while you're there, they reveal secrets that most undergrads learn the hard way (if at all), such as how to impress professors, live with roommates, select the best courses, plan your major, prepare for life in the real world, and more.
College is a huge investment of time, money, and yourself. Getting the Best Out of College
is essential to making the most of that investment.
