Summary: My first introduction to the world I truly love.....
Comment: College is Only the Beginning was the required textbook for my freshman orientation class back in 1986. I chose to attend college for the the typical reason....to get a better paying job. This book convinced me that getting that higher paying job was one of the lesser benefits of a college education. Garden and Jeweler discuss all of the personal benefits a person receives from a college education. Human growth and developement as an educated person are emphasized instead of the more practcal reasons most of us choose to attend college.
The book is also an extremely useful guide to succeeding in college with chapters on getting the most from your professors, using the library, staying healthy, getting along with others, studying, and choosing a life path.
This book is currently out of print but these authors have continued to write books on this topic (none of which I've read). However, this book made such an impact on me that I felt compelled to promote it as long as it's available.
