Hi Everyone,
DD is headed to college in the fall and I'd really appreciate some book recommendations. Fiction, non-fiction, either is good, hopefully they will contain solid advice to help her make good choices, be successful, and get along with her roommates. Please list the title, author, fiction or non, and what makes the book great (and any drawbacks).
I'll start with one she's already got:
Daddy long legs by Jean Webster, fiction. Pros: captures the sense of not fitting in and that "everyone else knows things I don't" and goes a step further to show how Judy over comes challenges in college. Fairly realistic depiction of college (study hard or you will fail, look things up if you don't know them, people come from many different backgrounds). Cons: Written in 1911 so somewhat anachronistic.
