College Sense: What College and High School Advisors Don’t Tell You about College

Making sense of higher education can confound the most stellar of students. Your college education isn't just about gaining knowledge but is an experience unlike any other you'll have in life. Navigating the college environment is about learning the language-if you know how the system works, you can understand and prepare for the complexities that college presents.

It explores a myriad of essential topics such as how to reduce and eliminate debt, the questions that you should ask during your campus visit, and how to get the most of your college experience. It's the only book you'll ever need to help you prepare for all those things that your advisors didn't tell you about college. College Sense was the 2008 National Best Books award winner for college guides.

Any incoming freshmen
High school or PTA that want to give graduating seniors an invaluable gift
Any community college student that will be transferring into a 4-year institution
