Customer Reviews

Good book, but I bought it too late...

This book was recommended to me by head of the Fulbright program in Ukraine. Unfortunately, I bought it too late - after one month in US. The book is really good and well structurized. I contains not only general information about american academic cuture but also many everyday things: greetings in different parts of the country, spending free time, buying a car and so on. But you have to know. This book is predominately about US education. Canadain universities are discribed only in comparison with US ones.
