Total College Success: What You Absolutely Need to Know BEFORE Starting College
Total College Success provides the information you need to make a sound judgment on selecting and pursuing a degree program.

You will be able to effectively research schools, ask the right questions, develop your own thoughts, and make the right decisions that will benefit your career. This book provides insight and information that you won't find in other books.
