Customer Reviews

This book helped me a lot.

This book has been great for me - it has helped me understand the "big picture" of the college experience as well as given me in-depth tips on how to study and take tests, manage my time, prepare for job interviews, etc. I would recommend this book to ANYONE who wants to get the most they can out of college.

Wish I had known all this when I was entering college.

Great job Mr. Young! I wish this had been available when I entered college. Even if I'd only had a few of your ideas, there would have been a vast improvement in my college career. The information is very practical and after attending college and looking for a job, I know it to be very applicable. I highly recommend this book for anyone and everyone entering college.

This is a "must have" for all college-bound students!

Mr. Young's book is a great way to explain to young people what college is really all about. Those that read it will certainly have the upper hand on making their collegiate years count! A super idea for gift giving this graduation season.

Helpful to entering college students

Kudos to Stephen Young for a true find! His 100 tips are insightful, helpful, and clearly born of his own experience. I will be giving this book to graduating seniors in my church. Recommended to me by a close friend, I am grateful that books such as those by Mr. Young are out there and hope that entering college students will take advantage of what they can learn through from a wisdom born of experience and hard work. As a college and graduate school graduate, however, what I have discovered is that many of the tips offered have benefits not only in college but throughout the rest of a person's life as well.

An Excellent and concise guide for students entering college

This book gives solid information in a concise and easy to read format. It will be very useful for students entering college. I think every high school student should read something like this before beginning a college career.
