In Addition to Tuition: The Parents' Survival Guide to Freshman Year of College

What parents may not know about sending their first child to college fills a large volume--in this case, a detailed, step-by-step guide to both the undisputable facts and the judgment calls of the first college year. Knowing what to say to your child, how to say it, and when is as important as purchases, packing and moving in, billpaying, and such typical challenges as roommates, grades, social life, and avoiding risks. Although rather dry and matter-of-fact, Borden and colleagues' practical adviser provides neophyte parents of a college student with informed insights into college life and tips for making their and their child's transition a smooth one.
