Prepare for College in 30 Days

PDF Print E-mail
Wednesday, 01 August 2012

Go into your local Barnes & Noble and browse the college section.

What do you see?

Books on college admission and paying for college. Study Aids and Test Prep. Books on careers and life after college...

But, nothing that serves as a guide to prepare incoming freshmen.

It’s as if everything a college freshman is supposed to know is thrown at them at “freshman orientation”.

Weren’t colleges against cram sessions?

Perhaps there’s a reason why only seven in 10 students who go to college come back for their sophomore years.
