I have to say that I wished I had read a book like this my first time at entering college life... it might have saved me a great deal of hassle, stress and the inevitable withdrawal from the college when things just ended up imploding for me. However, this time around when I attempt to re-enter the college scene and get a college degree, I wanted to have the best chance of succeeding and "The 411 on College Life: 10 Tips That Can Make You or Break You" turned out to be a smart, practical and insightful read that certainly gave me some much needed advice about college life.Alvaro Ibarra provides a thoughtful and information package book that really delves into the ins and outs of college life, from financial worries to classes and everything in between. It's a well-written guide that allows you to learn from the mistakes and successes of others, thereby hopefully giving you the tools to succeed in college and actually make it to the finish line with a degree in your hand and a promising future to look forward to. The book is a fast read that offers advice, tips, strategies and insights that every college student (whether young or old) needs to know and I would definitely recommend it to those who want the best tools to help them succeed.
