Navigating the first year of college can be overwhelming-new procedures, courses, and expectations can make the experience unfamiliar, even intimidating. The College Awareness Guide: What Students Need to Know to Succeed in College demystifies the experience by introducing readers to many of the new concepts and procedures they will encounter during their first year of college. Covering a broad range of topics, it stresses basic knowledge over specific skills and includes material not discussed in many texts. It is brief and affordable-packing information into less than 150 pages-and contains over 170 references to valuable web sites, books, and tutorials.
