MY COLLEGE TIPS was written by a young man while he was in college and experiencing all of the stresses and successes. It is the book you wish you had during your college days; it certainly is one I would have loved to have had.

James S. Parker created the perfect gift idea for anyone about to enter this challenging stage of their life. Within the book, readers will find a practical guide to college life. The author has covered everything from financial aid to relationship issues. The format is logical and straight-forward. The reader is not bogged down with analogies and anecdotes to which they cannot relate. Instead, they are given topics and tips that most college students have had to learn the hard way.

It is clear that this book was written to truly help others. The ideas found in MY COLLEGE TIPS express a concern for helping students to determine their priorities and make wise decisions.

When you purchase a copy of the book you receive log-in rights to a part of the website www.mycollegetips.com which gives you access to additional tips on a range of topics. I found this to be a unique and creative way for the author to interact with his audience.

Parker starts the book with a "Top Ten" list of why he is qualified to write this book. I’m not sure if this is even necessary; it is clear from the contents of the book that he knows what he’s talking about.
