Reviews*
By AMAZON users:
"We adopted Gardner’s text mainly because of its concise version. I also have utmost confidence in John Gardner to write a good, solid text - his research on first-year students and his expertise and experience more than qualify him. I don’t know of any areas where it really falls short."

"The additional ’features’ make this text outstanding. In particular, the self-assessment, the chapter exercises, and ’your personal journal’ are especially helpful."

"The main reason I am using this text is because it is simply the best college experience/survival skills book in print (and I review each and every one)."
