I am very glad to see something focused on teaching students how to 'figure out' the campus culture/profs. I can't tell you how many times students have come to me to withdraw from a class b/c of a prof, and I'd say to them you need to figure out how this person thinks because some day you'll have a boss you'll need to figure out. This is a good introductory text focusing on college culture and they expectations of college students. --Bea Rogers, Monmouth University Several of the topics are new and innovative, and I like that--especially the focus on etiquette and behaviors and the orientation to academia. --Karla J. Sanders, Eastern Illinois University This book is valuable because it puts in print some of the fore knowledge that typical first year students often lack. I think the authors have filled a significant gap in the market for FYE texts. --Charles R. Frederick, Jr., Indiana University-Bloomington
