The Skinny on your First Year in College
When you arrive on a college campus, spread out in front of you are literally thousands of new things to learn. For most students, it takes months to discover how to successfully navigate their new environment. Nine months, in fact, September to May: your first year in college.

Now you can have the answers that all first-year students wish they had from the beginning. And you can have them in about an hour.

The information in this book was gathered from scholars and students at colleges across the nation: two-year, four-year, private, public, large, and small.

University. He is about to experience many of the obstacles first-year students encounter.

Your first year will be full of challenges, questions, and opportunities. In an hour or so, you'll be ready.
