Book Reviews of The Real Freshman Handbook: A Totally Honest Guide to Life on Campus

Book Review: Pretty Honest Look at the Freshman Experience
Summary: 4 Stars

I just bought this as a graduation gift for my cousin whose been like a little sister to me. After seeing this book at a used bookstore downtown I thought that it would be a great ice breaker to start up a dialogue about her upcoming experiences in College. After skimming through some of the chapters, particularly about getting your living arrangments and roommate situations taken care of, it reminded me very much of my freshman year. Although some of the advise like it's ok to slack in your first year I found to be a little unsettling. Then again going to an intensive urban setting art school is far different from her Poli-Sci curriculim at her private all girl school.

I would deffinatly recomend this as a fun gift for a graduating high school senior, particularly from friends or relatives of similar age groups.

Summary of The Real Freshman Handbook: A Totally Honest Guide to Life on Campus

In a guide to college life that is a little more realistic than Felicity and a little more fun than Stanley Kaplan, Jennifer Hanson charts a course through the dips and bends of freshman year. Written with the collective “wisdom? of twelve college students from across the country, THE REAL FRESHMAN HANDBOOK is the only one of its kind — a “handy and humorous book that will fit in any first-year?s backpack? (Harvard University Gazette) and that offers an inside look at the real deal on college life from those who have been there — and survived. Hanson gives readers a crash course in avoiding freshman year follies, from filling out roommate questionnaires and evaluating putative hangover remedies to writing papers and studying for exams.
College-bound students will relish the down-to-earth advice, and parents can rest assured that they won?t have to fund a new wardrobe because Junior didn?t separate the colors from the whites. The advice throughout is insightful, smart, practical, entertaining, proving that “Hanson has really done her homework? (U Magazine).
