“The value of this book is in helping the student be aware of areas of life that will require making decisions—academic, social, emotional, and behavioral challenges The book gives straightforward, simple recommendations about ways to respond to these challenges. This level of concreteness will be of value to many. While its primary audience is students, the book may also be of interest to parents and help some of them transition from being “attack helicopters” to “rescue helicopters.” Given these two audiences, this book might be a good choice for summer orientation programs for incoming students and their parents. The book might also be recommended by college counseling center staff either as a supplement to counseling or in conjunction with outreach programming on adjusting to college.”
