 Great preparation for college... March 22, 2007

I ordered this book a few weeks back, because I was starting to get a little nervous about getting ready for school and what to expect exactly. Mathew Paul Turner, makes this book really enjoyable to read. I found his writing style to be very entertaining. Plus I think the book really hits some key points about what to expect as far as orginizations, friends, dating, class, and life in general at school will be. Now this book is definately from a Christian perspective, but I think it would just as well serve the purpose of a conservative person.
I guess I won't really know how accurate this was until I experience the real thing, but from the people I have talked to about college this book seems to nail the college experience so I can definately recommend it for that reason alone.

This book has a "born again" slant to it, but, as an informative and entertaining tool, its appeal could definitely be more widespread. Mr. Turner's writing style is so entertaining and the humor so enjoyable, that he makes the religious angle palatable for the non-believers, and nirvana for Christian teens. He makes the point, several times, that his Christian audience should be respectful of all cultures, creeds, and lifestyles.
Dating, dorm life, physical and emotional wellness, money, and educational involvement are covered. Humor is entertwined with good sense as each segment of the complete college experience is discussed. The warning to wear flip flops in the shower (p.87) is a good example of the mixing of humor with some pretty good advice. And really, a lot of this information would come in handy for thousands of noncollege bound young people - particularly,but not explicitly, Christian - heading out on their own. Kids will have roommates once they leave home, even if they are not in college. They still date, party, have financial dilemmas, and,hopefully, wear flip flops in the communal shower.

I'm 17 and about halfway through my senior year of high school. I purchased this book in hopes of revealing some inside information about college life. I'm happy to say that it does not disappoint. "Everything You Need To Know Before College: A Student's Survival Guide" is very well-written and informative. Matthew Paul Turner is an excellent author who writes with real-world perspective and down-to-earth knowledge of the subject. It's both informative and entertaining at the same time. A word of warning though: this book is written from a born-again Christian perspective, so for you atheists out there, you might want to pass this one up. Also, the author went to Belmont college, which is a Christian school, so he might be a little biased or uninformed on some things. But it's all good. This book is excellent and should not be passed up.

"Everything You Need To Know Before College"
By: Matthew Paul Turner
The one thing you may want to purchase before heading off to college, is the book "Everything You Need To Know Before College". The author, Matthew Paul Turner, did a very nice job with outlining the book. He discusses things with students such as: "Getting Ready", "Relationships", "Lifestyle", "Education", and many more great topics of interest!
This book is great in the fact that it is packed full of useful and insightful information in it for both future and even present students to use. I loved how in each chapter he included the Word of God; applying our number one handbook in life, to this pratical little college handbook, was an awesome idea! This gives the student inspiration for whatever the topic might be, that they are reading about in the book. I truly enjoyed the humor thrown in by the author, which was a great way to relate to young people! This book would even be great for parents to read, before their children go off to college. It is fun, humorous, and inspiring yet it also has so much information, that you don't want to miss reading this one!
