How to Stay Christian in College (Th1nk Edition)17 reviews
J. Budziszewski

Th1nk Books, 2004

Be alert and open-eyed to college!
J. Budziszewski's own personal story is one of losing his childhood Christian faith in college, and not just in the sense of casually drifting away from it, but becoming openly opposed to it. So thoroughly had he deconstructed God and the meaning of existence, that he considered himself a wholehearted nihilist. In other words, there was no God, no purpose or meaning to existence. He writes ...

So concise and thoughtful..
I'm so impressed with the amount of information in this book... everything from how to manage money, time & nutrition, as well as, social topics such as roomates, dating safety & much much more. Mr Malone obviously is well versed in academia and student life. He's covers a vast range of topics as only someone with his experience and breadth of knowledge could. It's a very easy and enjoyable ...

What the Best College Teachers Do24 reviews
Ken Bain

Harvard University Press, 2004

Excellent book for college instructors
I heard about this book at a small conference, checked it out of our university library, read one chapter and ordered a copy for myself. You'll easily come away with two or more ideas to better yourself -- a great book. I'm keeping this one in my personal library. 		  
  







  
  
College Physics30 reviews
Raymond A. Serway, Jerry S. Faughn

Thomson Learning, 2003

Sloppy
I am not at all impressed with the 7th ed. I am now using another textbook instead of the the College Physics 7th ed required for my class. The text itself if so-so. The text explanations of concepts are unclear and unnecessarily wordy, not the worst out there but certainly nothing to scream about. One of the irritating tendencies was that simple explanations of even basic concepts were few ...

Michele Hernandez

Ballantine Books, 2007

Got me Into The Ivy League
I used this book when helping me fill out my college application to Cornell University. Cornell recently just had their lowest admission year at 20%. I have only a 1280/2000 on the SAT (710M 570V) and got accepted. I did everything the book asked me too. Highlighting my advantages and writing descriptions to EC's the exemplified leadership. This is tailored to the Common Application. ...

Colleges That Change Lives: 40 Schools That Will Change the Way You Think About Colleges29 reviews
Loren Pope

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2006

This is a "must read" for parents of teens with lower GPA/SAT scores
This book has helped me to evaluate colleges for my children and to discover that excellent, albeit lesser-known colleges, exist for bright teens who have different learning styles than predominant teaching styles, and therefore do not necessarily fit the SAT/GPA cookie-cutter mold once they are nearing senior year in high school. This book reports on a study of 40 colleges that teach to various ...

Bedford/St. Martin's, 2006

Write this way...
This book, `Patterns for College Writing: A Rhetorical Reader and Guide' edited by Laurie G. Kirszner and Stephen R. Mandell, is a book widely used in colleges and universities, as well as advanced high school classes across the nation. It is a very useful text, and I use it when tutoring students in preparation for community college level writing and reading work. It is used at our college in ... 		  
  







  
  
The Healthy College Cookbook: Quick. Cheap. Easy.56 reviews
Alexandra Nimetz, Jason Stanley, ...

Storey Publishing, LLC, 1999

Easy to Use
This was an impulse buy that I haven't regretted. It is perfect for the beginning cook or the harried college student. My only complaint is that it doesn't lay flat but that is obvious when you buy it. 		  
  







  
  
How to Win at College: Surprising Secrets for Success from the Country's Top Students27 reviews
Cal Newport

Broadway, 2005

A quick shot of success
As an admitted skeptic before I read this book, I felt like I had seen it all before. What could a 200 some page book offer me with 75 "secrets" of success in college? Even then, with at the most a 4 page explanation of why its important? Call me crazy, but I think that this book was what I call a "Quick shot at success". Although its a quick read, in terms of other overloaded "expert" college ... 		  
  







  
  
Enhanced College Physics (with PhysicsNOW)1 review
Raymond A. Serway, Jerry S. Faughn, ...

Brooks Cole, 2006

Still Waiting
I still have not received my book and it has already been 4 weeks. I also don't have a tracking number so I cannot even go to the post office to locate the book. I am very disappointed. 		  
  







  
  
Getting the Best Out of College: A Professor, a Dean, & a Student Tell You How to Maximize Your Experience4 reviews
Peter Feaver, Sue Wasiolek, ...

Ten Speed Press, 2008

Where was this book when I was in college?
I was looking for a book to give my sister (she's had a little bit of a rough first year) to help her through college with some practical advice that she would actually read. It's a little tougher than it sounds. I checked out a couple other books and they either read like a textbook or were a little too cheesy. This book avoided both of those and made it sound like a real person was talking ...

James Stewart, Lothar Redlin, ...

Brooks Cole, 2008

Best written text I've used!
I am a math major trying to find this book because I wasn't able to keep it after I took College Algebra. Yay! I've found it! This has to be the best-written text I've ever used ... over Trigonometry, Calculus 1,2,& 3 (using two different college's different texts), Discrete Mathematics, Linear Algebra, Differential Equations, Abstract Algebra, Real Analysis, Probability and Statistics, and ...

U.S. News Ultimate College Guide 2008 (Us News Ultimate College Guide)5 reviews
Staff of U.S.News & World Report

Sourcebooks, Inc., 2007

Count on US News
Regardless of what you may hear. People can count on US News to continue to deliver solid information on higher education and even rank schools based on certain criteria. I reccommend guides like this as a starter if someone has no idea what school is best for them. Or if someone simply wants some information on a school in one handy book. Otherwise, it is going to be difficult to find this kind ...

Patrick Sebranek, Verne Meyer, ...

Great Source Education Group Inc, 2007

Perfect for the Returning College Student
I'm returning to college after 15 years of being in the "real world" and this book is great. I have a lot of natural writing ability and overall, I'm comfortable with the writing process. But it has been awhile since I've had to sit down and write a college position/research paper and I don't recall ever being required to use the MLA document style before! It's great to be able to pick and choose ... 		  
  







  
  
College Algebra13 reviews
Margaret Lial, John Hornsby, ...

Not Avail, 2004

College Algebra, 9th edition, by Lial
I just got done with taking my final in College Algebra using this textbook. I was extremely frustrated and stressed during the whole course because I just couldn't get it! This book did not explain enough and just quickly glossed over or assumed that you knew the info already. Definitely not written for students, but for professors already gifted in algebra!! Needless to say, I struggled ...
