How to Win at College: Simple Rules for Success from Star Students: Surprising Secrets for Success From the Country's Top Students

Loved it, had some great tips for university students! I'm from England, and though it is more directed towards the American education system, most of it still applied. I'd definitely recommend it to prospective uni students!

Excellent book, every young person should read it

Amazing book. Not linear and helpfull, it can really help if you have problems managing time and study. Other books by Cal Newport are more detailled, but this one is simple and easy to read.

I'm glad I read this book during my freshman year, because most of the advice really made a lot of sense and helped me to set up a plan for the rest of the year and my entire studying time. This book preferably in combination with the Student Success Manifesto seems to be a must for every ambitious college (liberal arts) student.

It's amazing

If you're looking at reviews for this book then you're likely looking for some insight into the college process on a deeper level than surface-level advice. In that case, you should undoubtedly get this book. I'm going to college next year, and I'm the type of person who copes with things by reading about them. Books like this book are the reason I do that. It's clear and easy to read, it's direct, it's straightforward, and best of all, it's full of simple advice that can dramatically improve one's college experience. It provides this advice without being pretentious- the book's title turned me off at first, and while the author certainly has a very pragmatic approach to college life, he decries resume-padding and the like. I've recommended it to many of my classmates, and it will serve as a sort of bible for me next year. As much as it's helpful on a practical level, it's helped me in another way, too. I went looking for books because I was nervous about next year. This book helped reassure me by encouraging me to focus on the exciting aspects rather than the unnerving ones. If only I could get such a powerful effect every time I spent ten dollars. A few years later: This review actually was written by my then high-school-age son, and I have to tell you that he went on to have an absolutely stellar, meaningful career at an Ivy League college. During those four years, and since, he has frequently referenced this book, and its author, whose other books he later read, as having been his primary source of guidance about how to handle his undergraduate life.

This book discusses tips to success academically and socially in college based on experiences of the author's and students in the top US colleges. There are 75 tips in the book, and the book discusses in a readable way why they are important and how to implement them. The tips are really practical and, in my opinion, useful for any college (and also graduate) students. The tips helped me to organize my school life and I recommend this book for any college (and also graduate) students.

This little book filled with smart ideas and insights from top students on how to enjoy and get the most out of your university education and experience and life. Great, great book highly recommended as a special gift to any university student for help, guidance, and inspiration!
