College 411: Guide To A Student's First Year Of College From Dorm Room To Classroom

High school seniors are excited by college life, but they are also anxious about the unknown. For many, this will be the first time that they will make their own decisions about the direction of their life. This book provides a roadmap to success by helping them take full advantage of opportunities and avoid potential pitfalls during their first year. College is much more diverse than high school, with a variety of beliefs and ideas that students must learn to accept without necessarily approving of them. College life requires self-discipline in academics, money management, personal behavior, and extracurricular activities. This book covers academic policies, career planning, technology use, time management, academic skills, college financing, and textbooks.
