This book has a lot of excellent, practical tips on college life. I just had a couple of reservations.

First, Harrison overemphasizes college as job training. He says, don’t listen to that nonsense about college being a time for personal exploration. “At up to ,000 a year, it’s job training.” (p. 74) College should be job training and personal exploration and intellectual and social development.

Secondly, Harrison recommends that students live in the dorm (p. 45). That is desirable if the student can afford it and certainly better than having their own apartments. However, some students couldn’t afford to attend college if they didn’t live at home. They shouldn’t take on the financial burden of living in the dorm. (Harrison does say later that living at home is better than racking up high student loans.)
