<p>Okay, considering all the $$ spent on (getting into) college books; choosing the right college books, saving so you can afford college books, SAT prep books, etc. etc. are there any good - now that you are in - guidebooks to college? I saw about a dozen "surviving your freshman year" type books in Barnes & Noble. Anyone been there, done that and have an idea which is best....as a pre-going away gift??</p>
<p>lol why don't you stop living your life based on what some books say and try and solve your own problems? ;)</p>
<p>"Been There Should've Done That" by Suzette Taylor is supposed to be good.</p>
<p>College p rowler books are pretty in-depth with specific information about a college.</p>
<p>Someone should take the information on this site and write a book.</p>
<p>Are you allowed to do that without CC's permission?</p>

<p>LOL, fair enough if I were 18. But, wait til you're a parent, no matter how much confidence you have in your kid, and expectation that they can get by on their own, you still want to be able to help them with good advice. Trouble is all my college experiences are 30 - 40 years old. Seems like some things may have changed since the 60s when we shut down the University. </p>
<p>'Course, we may have used drugs and had sex, but the purpose was different: it was doobies, not roofies. Anyway, it's been a long time since I hung up my sandals, and flip flops seem to be more popular these days.</p>
<p>Maybe it's all on the surface and Tom Friedman and Barret Seaman are wrong. Even if things were pretty much the same, would you believe us anyway?</p>
