Full disclosure: I am a friend of the author. HOWEVER... we often have rather heated political discussions. I was surprised that the book not only gives the sort of advice I (as a college teacher) would want people to know.... the sort of "common sense" that is not very common (such as making efforts at the beginning of the class rather than at the end), but goes further and discusses the sorts of temptations students will run into in their dormitories, such as binge drinking, sex, etc. Andrew doesn't make value judgments about those who indulge... rather, he gives clear explanations on what is likely to go wrong, so that the student can be forearmed. My college age son now has two copies of this book...

This book is an excellent, comprehensive, and clearly written resource for anyone thinking of college. Dr. Kadar covers a broad variety of topics that are essential, even life-saving for incoming freshmen. From how to manage stress, critical information about drugs and sexual behavior, and just having a good time while maximizing the potential for a successful first year, it is definitely a useful, easy read.

I gave this book to my son the week before he started college. The advice in it helped him earn a 3.8 grade point average his first quarter. The social and medical advice is priceless. The wisdom contained in the book should be imprinted in every freshman's memory. I also appreciate the doctor's authoritative and practical advice on health.
A college essential
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
As a recent graduate of the University of Washington Seattle, I wish I had had Dr. Kadar's book on my shelf as a reference my freshman year. He offers indispensable information, advice, and techniques with which to make your college years both productive and enjoyable. Written in a straightforward voice with wit, intelligence, and charm this is a fun read for all college-bound students, no matter the degree level.
