I was introduced to this book when I went to my daughter's orientation in July 2006 at Fresno State's (Dog Days). Terrific & easy reading. The story/information was so true and reminded me about what was to happen and to do my best to let her go. I shared the book with another friend who has a daughter that will be starting college at SF State. Then the book will be shared with a co-worker who has a daughter that will be off to UCLA. This book is its own 'Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.' It's right for all of us, it fits all of us perfectly. I'll continue to share this book. I have asked all my friends to write their name, student's name and college information on the front page for historical purposes.

Faced with the reality of sending my twins to college on opposite coasts, I realized that I needed a guide to help us through the unknown adventure that awaited. What a guide it was. At each stage of their college experience I could open the book and see what was next. The book was so accurate in portraying the various, sometimes unexplicable, twists and turns students undergo during their college years. I have loaned this book to several friends and they all agree that this is a valuable guide to be shared again and again. I'm ordering 2 more copies as 'They're Going Away' gifts.

I picked up this book when my daughter was in her Junior year. It helped me be able to understand her stress and mine. As a psychotherapist I thought I would know better but then I realized that the journey had to be hers. I have returned to this book over and over again and have recommended it to high school parents. Most of the chapters hit the mark for me as a parent. It helped clarify whose job it was to research, visit and write the essays. My daughter rose to the challenge and has been accepted to 7 out of 10 colleges. I continue to have this book by my bedside as I await her decision and the next four years. Good luck to parents. It is hard to step back and let them work harder than you.

I bought this book (3rd edition) just before my oldest son went to college, one-thousand miles from home. The book was a life-saver, and helped me truly understand! A great book and quick read. I just bought the 4th edition for a friend.

Letting Go is an insightful companion for an emotionally intense moment of parenting. Coburn and Treeger are great. If you're also looking for loving ways to celebrate a graduation or send a young adult into the world with the counsel of the people important to him or her (that's YOU!), I recommmend 'Words to Live By,' a fill-in journal. You write in your tips and lessons learned so you can let go, while knowing they've got your advice with them.

This book will prepare you for the unexpected emotional experiences of both parent and son or daughter who is leaving for college. Best if read prior to summer before student plans to leave, and refered to many times during the college years.
There are certain times and events in your students' college life that are entirely predictable, and many that are not. This bood deals with both in a knowledgable and caring manner. As a high school counselor who specializes in helping students and parents prepare for and select their colleges, I always recommend this book. Parents report that it's sometimes a "life line" for them, guiding them through unfamiliar territory.
