Guide Review - Parents' Guide to College Life

Parents' Guide to College Life will prove to be a real eye-opener for parents. The book answers just about any questions a parent might have, and others they may have never considered.

Written by Robin Raskin, a college parent and Director of Communications at The Princeton Review, Parents' Guide to College Life combines advice from college deans and administrators, finance experts, students, and other parents to answer 181 questions about college life.

If you want to know more about the cost of college, campus life, grades, financial aid, and long distance parenting, this is the book for you. Chapters cover everything from packing luggage to college partying.

By the time parents finish reading this comprehensive guide, they will be ready for almost any situation involving their college bound student. I highly recommend that parents invest in a copy of Parents' Guide to College Life before their kids leave the nest. The book is inexpensive and the advice inside will prove to be invaluable.
