  - Am I really bright enough for college?

  - Do I have the energy to see the course through?

  - Have I got what it takes to be a student?

  - How will I survive on my own away from home?

  This lively and comprehensive guide to college life is ideal for students about to start college, or already there. It gives helpful advice and specific guidance on the practical problems, intellectual anxieties and personal demands which all students face.

  It covers the whole college experience from leaving home, finding somewhere to live and settling in, to familiar routines like attending lectures, using the library, preparing tutorials, writing first essays, handling academic criticism, revising for examinations - through to choosing a career, finding a job, or staying on for higher studies. There are also sections on college social and personal life, nutrition and exercise, sex, love and dreams, and on drink, drugs and other addictive substances.

  The book assumes no previous knowledge on the reader's part, and is equally suitable for school leavers and mature students.
