As a college sophomore when I read this, it really made sense - I tried reading it in high school, and didn't really get it.

It was a good graduation gift; but whatever company publishes this stuff seriously needs a better editor, 10 typos, and one story had NOTHING to do with college. Some of the stories were good though.

I had the opportunity to get this book for a highly discounted price for my Kindle, and I couldn't resist. Like all the 'Chicken Soup' series books, it's a mix of material, that varies widely in quality. Some of it is sad, some is inspiring, and some you want to reread again and again. On the reverse, a few of the included stories are rather dumb. But, overall, it's a great book that covers a variety of college scenarios, and will help give you the courage needed to face the frightening new adventure that is college, and manages to give a few helpful tips and pieces of advice at the same time.

This is an excellent series of books. I find I relate to most of the stories and they are well told.
