 The Best Without a Doubt -- Required Reading! July 10, 2006
7 out of 9 found this review helpful
I should start off by saying that I've bought The Naked Roommate for my son, my son's friends, my nephews, my nieces, and for my friends' children and a few friends (they were having a tough time dealing with the college transition). Every single person who has picked it up has raved about it. The book captures the essense of college life in a way that is rarely seen and heard. I just heard through my nephew that it's being used as required reading on his friend's colleges. I was familiar with the author from his advice column, and appreciate his style of writing. I'm also a fan website(thenakedroommate.com) an online forum for the book. I found the title after I came across a rave review by the New England Board of Higher Education (I'm a teacher). That was last year, and this year I saw it everywhere! But I saw it first! Anyone who has something disparaging to say about this book, clearly has not read the book or has some other motive. In conclusion, this book is smart, funny, witty, extremely well researched, on the the best book out there for students, parents, educators, and anyone who wants to know about college life. I can't wait for his next. I'm sold.

Not great. There are a few bright spots, but overall the book's sort of mediocre. Kids can figure all this stuff out on their own.
 Naked Roommates? July 3, 2006

This book was intereseting. Some things didn't completely apply to me (I am a college freshmen) because I will havemy own room and bathroom but I will be sharing a common room and a kitchen. Somethings seemed common sense, and some things just seemed iffy. But hey, I will take it with me to college and probably look over it again!
I wish I would have had a book like this when I went to college June 30, 2006

It would have been less stressful. The book is very well written. Easy to read and follow. It flows well from topic to topic. It's engaging and truthful without being patronizing to the reader. Gives great tips on how to handle, approach and deal with most everything one can and will encounter during their years in college. It's also very real, because Harlan Cohen has students themselves sharing their experiences. A must read for every student headed for college.

This book is lite, and that's a good thing. Teens actually read it. Info is delivered in short bits and it's easy to skip around. I also recommend "Words to Live By: A Journal of Wisdom for Someone You Love", a book with questions you answer for teen on what YOU think about love, friendship, money, health etc. Believe it or not, they REALLY read that (when you're not watching or when they're homesick). And for parents, "Letting Go: A Parents' Guide to Understanding the College Years" is excellent.
