Description: "The overall theme of the book seems to be 'Welcome to college this is a whole new world!' This is exactly what community college students need to know since they only have two years to spend at the institution. This is the book that specifically speaks to community college students. These students are a bit different than university students so their issues should be treated differently. This book accomplishes that." Elvira Johnson, Central Piedmont Community College "The information is concise and I like the idea of having students answer personal questions as they go along (as in Chapter 1). The goal setting steps in Chapter 2 are easy to follow and are a good indication of the ability to 'use' the text that students need. Things such as the 'Conduct Your Own Orientation' grid give an easy to follow overview. I really like the 'transitioning to your sophomore year' material that you don't often find elsewhere. I think the 'Career Self-Study' is a good way to get students thinking about career issues in terms other than just money." --Sarah Shutt, J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College
