Campus Companion: Finding Your Way

Campus Companion is a student's guide to getting around college successfully. Designed specifically for short, first-year orientation programs and courses, this brief and customizable spiral-bound text provides students with the foundation they need to achieve success in higher education by engaging them from the start in learning about their campus. Because each school has its own policies and procedures that students need to be aware of, the Campus Companion provides descriptions of resources found at most colleges with questions in the margin that ask students to research and document institution-specific information in a unique feature, Your Campus Companion. Students can then refer to the text throughout their entire education. The author incorporates student peer input from a unique Student Advisory Board of sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Their advice and suggestions for success provide readers with a current, real-world perspective of what first-year students can expect, how they can take advantage of the resources available to them, and how to successfully complete their first semester. Brief coverage of study skills and time management provides students with some core knowledge.
