Product Description
A+ Guide to surviving the Freshman Year, with Faith and Humor! Just about the time you get high school completely figured out - your principal hands you a diploma and you have to move on! Suddenly you go from being an in-control high school senior, back to being a freshman all over again. So how are you going to survive it all? - Filling out a million forms for financial aid and registration?
- Remembering a different class schedule every day?
- Doing your own laundry - and even ironing your own clothes?
- Eating cafeteria food three times a day?
- Meeting tons of new people?
- Maybe even moving a long way from home - and parents?
- And how about keeping your faith in the midst of all these changes?
Maybe Zach Arrington can't answer every question you are asking - and he makes it clear he can't. But he does invite you to share his unforgettable journey as a college freshman. You'll laugh, wonder, dream, pray and realize you, too, can succeed in your first year of higher education with faith and a smile!

 Good introduction to college October 3, 2005
27 out of 43 found this review helpful
I thought it was a good overall book that covered many areas of college life. The only problem I had with it is I did not know it was published by a Christian publisher. He added some things inside the book that was insulting of me as a non-Christian.I hate politically correct, and this is not a kind of "represent all religions, or don't talk about yours" kind of perception.I think it's good to talk about your religion, no matter what it is, but he had written only that you as a christian might have a hard time learning how to bring people to the Christian way of thinking.I do not want to be converted, as that seems a little intolerant, and infringing on my right to not be bulldozed by mormons, catholics, buddists, islamist, and jehova witnesses.

Not a bad read May 26, 2004

Honestly, I read this book. I felt it was very down to earth and a very easy read. Zach does his best to make incomming freshmen at ease with their transition into college life. For the most part it is humorous and has enough wit to keep most readers interested.I will say that it doesn't give the most complete look at college life. In order to impart your college freshman with a complete point-of-view of the college experience I recommend (in addition to this book): Been There, Should've Done That II : More Tips for Making the Most of College by Suzette Tylor. (ISBN: 0965608611 ) Decent advice, and a quick read. College 101 : The Book Your College Does Not Want You To Read (ISBN: 0966412206 ) by Guy Stevens. The advice is spot on and any book hated by college administrations can't be all bad! Also some of the stories are pretty classic.
 Awful book! May 6, 2004

This is one awful, awful book. I hated it. It was NOT funny, as I think he intended it to be, and it had no content value at all. He is basically trying to sell his diary. To be honest, I didn't finish it. It didn't help me at all.

This book is FREAKING HILARIOUS! I got it for Christmas after my first semester here. I finnished it in two days. It was hilarious. When I get back to school, I'm gonna recommend it to all my warped friends. What's really funny is when he mentions ADD and a really tiny attention span and I remember I have one of those also and.....what was I talking about again? Hi....baby rabbits are cute....I'm going to go study my coloring books again now....
