Great!.......2007-09-13
This book is a gift from the Guidance Dept. to each senior upon receipt of the first college acceptance. I put a personal message on the title page for each senior. The seniors really enjoy the book. It's always a nice surprise for them, and something that really can be useful as they prepare for college.

College Survival.......2005-09-13
Bought this book for a friend who said it was very helpful and informative. I plan to give this to my grandchildren when the time comes for them to go off to college.
So concise and thoughtful.........2005-06-26
I'm so impressed with the amount of information in this book... everything from how to manage money, time & nutrition, as well as, social topics such as roomates, dating safety & much much more. Mr Malone obviously is well versed in academia and student life. He's covers a vast range of topics as only someone with his experience and breadth of knowledge could. It's a very easy and enjoyable read & I would highly recommend this to all students leaving for college.

Caution, parents.......2007-06-08
The cover and title of this book are fun and enticing and immediately caught my eye at the bookstore - thinking of my daughter who is completing her senior year of high school. I flipped through some pages and the quotes and suggestions seemed thoughtful and interesting. When I got home, I took a closer look and noticed the chapters titled: "Going out, hooking up, dating and sex" and "Parties 101: How to have fun and be safe". I immediately flipped to these chapters to see what advice would be offered to my teen and was surprised to find - as is stated in the editorial review posted on this sight - not only mixed messages, but a real sense that drinking and hooking up were natural parts of the college experience. Of course, reality is that these things do tend to be part of the college experience, but as adults, producing books for guidance for teens, it would seem we would serve them better by presenting a message of discouraging these activities. This book does not do that. In fact, one message sent in the book is "As long as you're staying on top of your work, you're not partying too much". Hmm...not the attitude I want my daughter to learn. While I did find some parts of the book interesting and sometimes amusing - I will be returning this book and looking for one that provides a better message to my daughter.
How to survive your freshman year.......2006-11-05
Excellent advice on any aspect of college life. Well organized and easy to read.
Love this book! .......2006-07-05
It's fun to read and is a good resource from real students who have been through their college freshman year! I've already bought it for four recent high school graduates. I think it's the perfect graduation gift.
Awesome book. Easy read........2006-04-18
It's great to get so much advice from people who have recently gone through freshman year of college (much better than books written by school counsellors or authors who haven't been in college for 20 years).
Great gift!.......2006-04-14
This is the best gift for a high school senior. The new one is even better than the last edition....

Customer Reviews:
Good introduction to college .......2005-10-04
I thought it was a good overall book that covered many areas of college life. The only problem I had with it is I did not know it was published by a Christian publisher. He added some things inside the book that was insulting of me as a non-Christian.I hate politically correct, and this is not a kind of "represent all religions, or don't talk about yours" kind of perception.I think it's good to talk about your religion, no matter what it is, but he had written only that you as a christian might have a hard time learning how to bring people to the Christian way of thinking.I do not want to be converted, as that seems a little intolerant, and infringing on my right to not be bulldozed by mormons, catholics, buddists, islamist, and jehova witnesses.
Great Book.......2005-06-23
I'm an incoming freshman to UGA, Go Dawgs!!!!, and I absolutley loved this book. It was funny and easy to read. Lots of helpful hints for the nervous freshman.
Not a bad read.......2004-05-26
Honestly, I read this book. I felt it was very down to earth and a very easy read. Zach does his best to make incomming freshmen at ease with their transition into college life. For the most part it is humorous and has enough wit to keep most readers interested.
I will say that it doesn't give the most complete look at college life. In order to impart your college freshman with a complete point-of-view of the college experience I recommend (in addition to this book):
Been There, Should've Done That II : More Tips for Making the Most of College by Suzette Tylor. (ISBN: 0965608611 ) Decent advice, and a quick read.
College 101 : The Book Your College Does Not Want You To Read (ISBN: 0966412206 ) by Guy Stevens. The advice is spot on and any book hated by college administrations can't be all bad! Also some of the stories are pretty classic.
Awful book!.......2004-05-07
This is one awful, awful book. I hated it. It was NOT funny, as I think he intended it to be, and it had no content value at all. He is basically trying to sell his diary. To be honest, I didn't finish it. It didn't help me at all.
W00t!.......2003-12-27
This book is FREAKING HILARIOUS! I got it for Christmas after my first semester here. I finnished it in two days. It was hilarious. When I get back to school, I'm gonna recommend it to all my warped friends. What's really funny is when he mentions ADD and a really tiny attention span and I remember I have one of those also and.....what was I talking about again? Hi....baby rabbits are cute....I'm going to go study my coloring books again now....

Customer Reviews:
Very detailed.......2007-09-26
I am using this book as a first-time school newspaper advisor. The book has printable worksheets and lots of helpful guides.
I would suggest it being used for students who are at or above grade level, or doing the activities with partners, as many of the activities are very high level.
Good if you have a bunch of smart kids.......2006-01-11
It might be because I am teaching middle school journalism but I found the worksheets in this book to be pretty high end. Although I do recomend the book for survival I would recomend Judith Ann Isaacs books on Secondary School Journalism if you want to excell. The only problem is this other book is really hard to find.
The only book of its kind.......2001-02-01
Having been a high school newspaper adviser (notice, "adviser" and not "advisor"?) for 8 years, I am like the other reviewer who wishes this book would have been available much earlier. As it is, my first year of teaching in 1993 included four preps: English 10 Honors, English 9, newspaper, and yearbook. (Anybody want to say "Year of Insanity"?) While I did survive, I struggled that year because the resources for publication advisers are very few. Starting almost from scratch and given very little in support, I ended up putting together my own bound journalism resource book, which is similar in many ways to Osborn's work. But the "Survival Guide" I bought last year is still worthwhile for me to have on hand because it has a number of "cool" sheets that can be photocopied. (Kudos for the wire spine that make turning pages and laying them on the photocopier simple!) Only those who have advised high school publications can fully appreciate the words of wisdom Osborn has because she has obviously been there, done that. Every principal should order a copy for the school's journalism teacher. I certainly plan on utilizing mine in the years to come.
Wonderfully well organized resource!.......2000-03-31
Both the new and the seasoned newspaper adviser will benefit from this book. It is full of tips and advice to help journalism teachers to both monitor and challenge their students. The workshop units are well designed to teach beginning journalism students new concepts and allow advanced students to sharpen their skills. The format lends itself to easy incorporation into lesson plans and reviews. A sample style book is included which can be adopted and personalized for any high school. I only wish I had ordered this book earlier.

Not Bad.......2004-02-19
I bought this book based on Gerard's review. I found it to be decent and fairly useful. Most of the stuff is pretty straight forward and already common knowledge. Some useful hints that I hadn't thought about on how to organize yourself and seek help. All the pictures in the book seem to be out of the 70s or 80s, which I found kind of strange...not that it matters. The book is really short and you probably only need to look at it once. It's a worthwhile investment.
Book Description
This practical, hands-on resource is packed with tested tips, techniques, tools, and activities such as "27 Power-Packed Time-Management Tips for Students," "Monitoring On the Run: 20 Quick Techniques," "Missing Work Reminder List," and "50 Sponge Activities to Keep Students Engaged in Learning All Period Long." Includes over 50 ready-to-use-or-adapt forms, checklists and letters.

Great read the summer before teaching your first year.......2007-01-17
This book is full of useful tools and advice. As a 10 year veteran of teaching in secondary schools,and a beginning administrator, I purchased this as a resource for new teachers. The author actually taught in the school I now work in. I did not meet her but have heard wonderful things about her classroom. I certainly am enjoying the book thus far.
More of the same. . . ........2006-12-07
I found this very large book to be a waste of time & money. It's full of the same stuff we hear at all the workshops & education classes, which,in my experience, isn't really very helpful. There are a lot of forms & the book covers a lot of different areas, but doesn't have a lot about what I think is most important in managing a classroom: guidelines to real human interaction. Some may be looking for a bunch of formulas or rules: "if the students do this, you do this," but I have never seen that work very well. It usually takes far too much time, too. Also,the book seems to focus on the "teacher as entertainer" model: "make the class interesting, & there will be no problems." I have seen that work--for a few days--but I have never seen anyone keep it up successfully for 6-7 class periods a day for several weeks. A much better book, in my opinion, is The Reluctant Disciplinarian (I don't have the author's name handy). It doesn't offer any forms & rules, but it's fun to read & left me with a desire to get back in the classroom & enjoy my days with the kids.
Great book, extremely helpful if you want to go into teaching.......2006-03-10
This book was great and it arrived extremely promptly. This book is great for future educators in public schools.
Perfect Book.......2005-09-20
I love this book. There are a lot of different worksheets that can be used within the classroom. It provides several beginning of the year activities and also quite a few on going activities to be used throughout the year.
A twenty two year veteran of public education.......2005-09-13
This book contains some of the best techniques I have ever used for discipline in the classroom-and I have seen alot of techniques. This guide represents the most comprehensive set of tools that are ready to use and emphasize the importance of professionalism in the classroom. By reminding the educator that respect begins with modeling good behavior, this book can help even the most jaded of educational professionals.
I have found this book to be an invaluable tool in the classroom
