Síntesis:
In dorm rooms across the country, students wonder "I'm so lucky to be here; am I doing the right things to take advantage of this?" Too often, students do not know how to seek, understand, and take advantage of the resources that a comprehensive college or university can offer its students. This book is the answer. Likewise, in a 2018 study, 63% of students surveyed expressed that they have experienced overwhelming anxiety in the past year, revealing a critical need for information and guidance of how students can best manage their studies and career preparation.
