 Some good content... May 6, 2006
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This book is extremely well written and it is clear the author (Harlan Cohen) has experience in this field and has done the appropriate research to be and expert.
That being said this book does contribute itself to the pile of books before it that are categorized as "college guides". "Be careful using a credit card", "you're on your own now that you're at college", "beware long distance relationships", etc. This are some pretty cliche terms typical in any "college guide-book". Albeit students need guidence when going to college they are better off reading a book like The Power of Focus for College Students which is a book with much more valuable content for the student reader.
If you want a good college guide book this is it. If you want more, then this isn't it.
Great book for RA Staff March 13, 2006
8 out of 9 found this review helpful
I used this book in RA Trianing after learning about it at the ACUHO-I 2005 conference and meeting Harlan in person. The staff loved the book, and it has a lot of great examples and speaks well regarding University resources for students to seek out and utilize. The book was so well-liked, that I bought a copy for each of the RA Staff members for International RA Recognition Day in February 2006!
This book is great for.... August 22, 2005

This is a great book for incoming freshmen. Being a recently graduated high school student i was having my doubts about college. I was feeling really insecure about college both academically and socially. This book soon gave me the confidence for college and now i can't wait till school starts.
Why didn't he write this 4 years ago? August 8, 2005
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
I was a teacher for four years and was always on the lookout for a book to give to my graduating students (the ones I liked at least) that wasn't sappy or over-the-top inspirational. Sadly, I never found one that fit the bill. That's why I wish this book had been written back then. Now that I'm no longer teaching, I have found The Naked Roommate, a book that is practical, funny, and encouraging without being cheezy. I definitely recommend this for people going off to college and people looking for a gift to give someone going off to college.
Long Time Reader Wishing I Had This 3 Years Ago April 11, 2005
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
I've been reading Harlan's column in my college newspaper for the past few years. There is no one who is more knowledgeable or in touch with college students - anyone who says differently is out of touch with college students. As a fellow writer and third year college student, I can appreciate all the research that went into this book. I do have one big problem with The Naked Roommate, it wasn't around when I started college.
