Straight Talk On College provides 100 easy-to-understand tips on studying, taking tests, time management, managing money, job interviews, career preparation, balancing academics with other activities... This description may be from another edition of this product.
This book has been great for me - it has helped me understand the "big picture" of the college experience as well as given me in-depth tips on how to study and take tests, manage my time, prepare for job interviews, etc. I would recommend this book to ANYONE who wants to get the most they can out of college.
Wish I had known all this when I was entering college.

Great job Mr. Young! I wish this had been available when I entered college. Even if I'd only had a few of your ideas, there would have been a vast improvement in my college career. The information is very practical and after attending college and looking for a job, I know it to be very applicable. I highly recommend this book for anyone and everyone entering college.
This is a "must have" for all college-bound students!

Mr. Young's book is a great way to explain to young people what college is really all about. Those that read it will certainly have the upper hand on making their collegiate years count! A super idea for gift giving this graduation season.
Helpful to entering college students

Kudos to Stephen Young for a true find! His 100 tips are insightful, helpful, and clearly born of his own experience. I will be giving this book to graduating seniors in my church. Recommended to me by a close friend, I am grateful that books such as those by Mr. Young are out there and hope that entering college students will take advantage of what they can learn through from a wisdom born of experience and hard work. As a college and graduate school graduate, however, what I have discovered is that many of the tips offered have benefits not only in college but throughout the rest of a person's life as well.
