Book Review The Girl’s Guide to College
Today I am reviewing a book for all of you called “U Chic: The Girl’s Guide to College” by author Christie Garton. This book is the college girl’s guide to everything and retails for $14.99. The ISBN #13: 978-1-4022-5495-6. U Chic is an extension of the #1 online college resource for women, UniversityChic, written for and by university women, and includes thirty-six contributors from a diverse group of college campuses across the country.
The book ~ U Chic is the go-to resource for college women covering a wide range of topics, including:
* How to handle homesickness once the first week of orientation is over.
* The pros and cons of co-ed dorms.
* Picking the right major and tips on getting to the head of the class.
* Tech etiquette for the Facebook Age.
* Sorority Chic: The ins and outs of going Greek.
* Surviving Temptation Island: Drinking, drugs & sex.
Our Review: The soft-cover book has 412 pages and Chapter 1 is all about getting started in your new college life…from how to survive & thrive when in the minority, how to deal with homesickness and tells you about the U Chic essentials. Chapter 2 is about sharing space with others…like how to get along with others when sharing a dorm to dealing with messy roommates. Chapter 3 talks about picking the right major and how to deal with taking finals. Chapter 4 is about getting involved in various school activities and Chapter 5 talks about Tech etiquette for a Facebook Age. Chapter 6,7 and 8 deal with your love life, joining sororities and how to stay healthy & happy. Chapter 9, 10, 11 and 12 deal with how to stay away from the party scene (drinking, drugs & sex), how to deal with your money, the perks of being a college student and finally the book finishes up with what’s next after college life is over.
Since my 26 year old daughter is a part time college student I gave this book to her and then asked her about a few days later. She told me that the book has some great insight to college life, especially from a woman’s point of view. She said that she is learning a lot from reading this book and that it’s an easy read and she would recommend this book to other women who are attending college. She gives it a huge 2 thumbs up and told me that when she is done with it, her one college friend wants to read it next.
We would like to invite you to check out UniversityChic for valuable resources and additional information.
