The Ultimate College Student Health Handbook: Your Guide for Everything from Hangovers to Homesickness

I purchased 3 copies of this for the high schoolers in my life to give as grad gifts. I think it’s just perfect!I love the organization, scenarios, straightforward advice. As a physician, I found all advice to be spot on and what I’d want my loved ones to have at their fingertips.I love the details in what to include in a home made first aide kit and will be packing one to pair with each book.I can’t recommend this book highly enough!

Dr. Jill Grimes has done it again! In this third edition of "The Ultimate College Student Health Handbook," Grimes provides a wealth of information about some of the most common (and not so common) ailments and questions that college kids (and their parents) have. She knows when to calm you down, and when to sound the alarm (but also to calm your nerves) for anything from headaches to muscle aches and so much more. This is the perfect gift for new or soon-to-be high school graduates, and any young adult who's away from home (even if not in college) for the first time. While there is great info online, this book is the real deal, filters out the internet noise, and gives terrific, sound advice from a great doctor, mom, and writer.

I consistently recommend Dr. Grimes’s book to parents as a go-to graduation gift. If your child is so in high school, buy it now! I buy it for friend’s kids by about sophomore year of high school because I think the info is best consumed early before the stress and fun distractions of college take up their time. Never preachy, full of wisdom and clear guidance, this book is a treasure. The section on fentanyl alone is a literal life saver.

I am a doc and bought 8 books for my senior’s friends as grad presents! Plan to buy more. Great book and unique gift!

This is an essential purchase for the college student in your life! It is organized in a user-friendly way and very easy to read and understand. I love the scenarios, treatments, when to seek doctor’s help, and worst case scenario set-up for each ailment. This book is better than a Google search! Giving this gift to all the high school graduates I know, including my own! Thank you, Dr. Grimes, for this amazing resource!

The perfect resource for kids leaving home for the first time. I definitely consider this a must-have gift for new grads!

As a family physician, this is an absolute must have book. It covers virtually everything that a college student might come across while away at school. And since there are topics in there that they might be embarrassed to discuss with others, it allows students to be able to help themselves and treat conditions they may otherwise ignore. The information is practical and easy to understand which makes it invaluable. I have copies in my office that I share with patients and I have received noting but amazing feedback!

Stumbled across this looking for graduation presents for my daughter and my niece. What a find! Helpful information for anyone living on their own for the first time, curated by a momma doctor with a great knack for writing AND synthesizing important information. A copy of this book will be headed to college with each of my kids from here on out!
