I thought the book covered everything from deciding to attend college to getting a job once you've graduated beautifully. The most useful information is by far the study tips! I liked it so much I'm buying a copy for a friend.

Comment:
I am returning to college after 15 years. This book answered many of my questions about returning to school; such as how to study for tests, taking good notes, and how to juggle all my responsibilites including going to school. It took away some of the anxieties I was feeling about returning to school.

Comment:
This is the best book for an adult returning to college. Not only does it cover the same basics that the other books cover (about financial aid, getting to know your campus, and dealing with teachers), but it also covers the emotional side of your college experience, how to gain support from those around you, and how to prepare for professionalism rather than for just a job.Dr. Siebert takes his many years of research into the Survivor Personality (another good book) and makes it applicable and usable to the non-traditional college student. If I hadn't had this book my first term, I may have quit college.
