I think the tone and writing style is perfect. It is easy to read and understand without being condescending. The tone appears to be sensitive to first generation students. The use of the student stories are very helpful, as they put the information in a hypothetical situation and can better help the reader understand how the concepts would be applicable to real life situations. -- Jennifer Guerriero, Nova Southeastern University I love the Student Success Stories and how that makes the college experience seem more do-able and possible to students who are probably feeling overwhelmed by their first semester in college. -- Maureen Cuevas, West Texas A&M University
