Overview

"Everyone knows that getting into the college of your choice is tough, but few realize that getting out of college what you want (and need) can be even tougher. Going beyond basic study skills, ""Getting the Most Out of College"" explains everything freshmen orientation doesn't, such as how to develop rewarding relationships with professors, choose a major that will move you toward your long-term goals, use lesser-known campus resources to your advantage, manage relationships back home, and more."
