    Synopsis

    The college years are a time of noble pursuit of knowledge, self-betterment—and unending peril! Students are at risk from the moment they receive their acceptance letters. Fortunately, the authors of the phenomenally best-selling Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook series have come to the rescue, offering all-new, hands-on, step-by-step instructions for surviving the worst that higher education has to offer, on campus and off. Learn how to identify a party school, engineer a hookup, survive 'the spins,' and escape a stadium riot. Discover the best way to sleep in class, pass a test you haven't studied for, avoid the 'freshman fifteen,' and pull an all-nighter. With practical advice for avoiding laundry and identifying unsafe institutional food, along with an appendix of excuses for missed deadlines and a back-up diploma, this is truly required reading for all college students—and a perfect high school graduation present.

    January 31, 2007: I gave this book to my best friend when he was preparing for college. My only hope is that he passed it on to a younger counterpart when he was finished with it (like I did). I love that this book mixes practical advice with witty banter. From how to choose the best dorm mattress to how to ask your parents for money to how to avoid that creepy old guy in the dorm (c'mon, every college has one...or a few), this book is packed full of anecdotes that might not solve your problem, but will at the very least have to laughing about it.

    February 13, 2006: This book is such a strange mixture of ridiculous humor and ideas I actually intend to use. I must admit, I now feel very well prepared for next fall, when I enter college.
