"Great site! My
students need this straight-forward, readable advice; definitely a must
for freshmen, and not a bad "refresher" for upperclassmen as well! My favorite tip for
class: Ask questions. "When does this class get out?" is not
always an appropriate question, however. How true!"

"Does the kid you know
who's going off to college already have a big, thick dictionary and
thesaurus? Wondering what to give that kid before he heads for the dorm
at some cow college or Harvard?"

"Next to getting
students to attend orientation, the most difficult task is to get them
to read the literature which is provided in the orientation session, ...
The Student Survival Manual is a
breakthrough in this arena. It provides a great deal of very real need
to know information in a serious but very light format.
College is a serious
business and being successful in or at it does not have to be
boring drudgery.
This book makes you want to move on to the next
chapter and the next and the next because of the totally unique style
of the author.
It is a must book for the lighter side of a very
serious proposition. Add this to your Student Success reading list."
John Guerrieri

"This is a student
survival guide that underlines its serious tone with some
tongue-in-cheek humor. ... it is both serious and humorous,
appealing to the attitudes of many confused college students ...
The
extensive use of humor and sarcasm in the lists actually make the
impact of the lists more effective. The tone is not preachy, but
realistic and sensible.
If you are doing things is says you shouldn't,
you will not find it funny, but more likely will find it troublesome.
In conclusion this is a good sight because it is hip enough to keep a
visitor's attention, and real enough to make valid points."
