COLLEGE DEGREE In 3 - A Guide To Completing College In Less Than Four Years Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)"College Degree in 3" is an excellent college planning tool. The book's title champions the concept of how to plan to complete college in only three years. However, this is an excellent guide to successfully conquer college and the many new experiences that come with college, no matter what your timeline is. Dr. Bowman's conversational language style, diagrams, illustrations, and worksheets all make this an easy, fun, and useful read. The book provides concrete and insightful guidance on topics you were always wondering about and topics you never had considered. Just a few of the topics that the book addresses are: selecting a major, financial aid, living arrangements, note taking, test preparation, time management, and the social aspects of attending college. I strongly recommend for all high school students.

The College Board Book of Majors: First Edition (College Board Index of Majors and Graduate Degrees) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As a high school guidance director in a college-prep HS, I was delighted to see the College Board produce a more thorough and useful guide. It's bulkier than the previous "Index of College Majors" but the typeface and layout are easier to manage. The first part of the book (new), provides in-depth explanations of the majors. This section is clearly and conciely written and gives readers a better understanding of what each major involves and where it will lead. Finally, there's a guidebook that combines career/major information and listings, by state, where these majors are offered. It's not cheap so I recommend going to the library or accessing through a HS guidance office.

A Heavenly College Education On an Earthly Budget - Double Your Financial Aid - Double Your Degree's Value Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great book for students on how to prepare for college, choose a college, and acquire financial aid/Scholarships--But I was disappointed in Section 4: The Earthly Budget. This section, on how to finance a college education was not as comprehensive as the rest of the sections. I also did not like the fact the author went on about how he disagreed with The Theory of Evolution "ad nausium" throughout the book.
Section 4 was only 32 pages out of 331. However, he did list lots of books, web site links, and articles to help readers get more information and advice.
Overall, I think this book is very useful for parents as well as students in helping them to plan for college. The author has a very entertaining and witty style of writing which makes this book a very fun read.
