I am reading this book as the university has issued this as the required textbook for the class I am teaching this fall, Skills for College Life. It has been challenging trying to remember what was relevant and needed information when I was a freshman. So far, I like that the text incorporates educational, social, emotional and physical health, as well as, everyday practical tools for gaining value from the college experience instead of focusing strictly on only academic skills. Thankfully, I don't have to teach specifically from the textbook so I can pick and choose the most valuable (hopefully) sections for the class.
