Summary: Lots of helpful information
Comment: Having just sent our one and only off to college, without a lot of trauma, I finally had some time to investigate what I thought I "should" be doing! This was the first book I read, and I found lots of helpful information, especially about networking with other parents in the same boat. I appreciated the advice to give your kids the freedom to grow, while still allowing them to use the safety net - a balancing act we were already trying to acheive. I also copied the section on how to do laundry and sent it to my son - it should be required reading for all college students. I no longer get laundry brought home on school breaks! Yeah. The dirty dishes coming home were something else, but I couldn't ban the laundry - until he felt capable of doing it himself (with a gift of quarters of course!).

Summary: Great book for parents!
Comment: This book is a must-read for parents of college students, especially empty nesters for the first time. As author of The ABC's of College Life, a street-smart guide dishing out the inside scoop on college life, I highly recommend When Your Kid Goes to College as the ultimate survival guide for parents!

Summary: A marvelous book for parents
Comment: Our freshmen advisors and other staff who interact with parents think that When Your Kid Goes to College is a "must read" and a great resource book for parents. Although my copy is still circulating around campus, I intend to get it back and keep it handy for my own personal use when my son goes off to college in a few short years.
