Material Detail

College is a time of change, where you become the person you want to be, leading the life you design and work towards. You will change in how you see yourself and the world over your time in college, and each class (even if you don’t realize it) will become part of your knowledge base. Even the things you think you forget are buried in your memory and shape your future.

While television and movies portray college as parties and sports, for most people, the college experience is about classes, work, and learning. There are a lot of misconceptions about college and a lot of information you need to know (but people don’t tell you what you need to know).

As you get used to college, there are things you need to know. This book discusses 10 important things you need to know- and figure out as you start college. In each chapter, you will learn about one of these 10 things, and what you read here is meant to help you get started. Once you understand the basics, you can learn about your college, think about yourself, and plan your future.

This book is not meant to give you the answers. This is not a reference guide. It IS meant to help you formulate and understand the questions you need to answer and how to find those answers. The 10 things are big ideas and fundamental knowledge that will help you understand college and key areas that can help you be successful.
