 A must read! Jan 06, 2009
By Geoffrey Schmidt
"Award Winning Author, The Busy Adult's Guide to Making College Happen!"
I enjoyed reading this book. It is written in a fun, conversational manner. The chapter on overcoming fears and concerns was particularly valuable since fear is the key factor that prevents many adults from going back to school to finish their college degree.
I found the chapter on "how to get high grades" to be very practical, especially for those students who never learned to study effectively earlier in life, or who have simply forgotten how. The learning strategies discussed in this book will help even the accomplished student get higher grades.

The Adult Student's Guide to Survival & Success Dec 30, 1999
I thought the book covered everything from deciding to attend college to getting a job once you've graduated beautifully. The most useful information is by far the study tips! I liked it so much I'm buying a copy for a friend.

 Addresses internal and external challenges you'll face Dec 07, 1998
This is the best book for an adult returning to college. Not only does it cover the same basics that the other books cover (about financial aid, getting to know your campus, and dealing with teachers), but it also covers the emotional side of your college experience, how to gain support from those around you, and how to prepare for professionalism rather than for just a job.Dr. Siebert takes his many years of research into the Survivor Personality (another good book) and makes it applicable and usable to the non-traditional college student. If I hadn't had this book my first term, I may have quit college.

A MUST READ FOR THE ADULT GOING BACK TO SCHOOL!! Aug 08, 1999
I am returning to college after 15 years. This book answered many of my questions about returning to school; such as how to study for tests, taking good notes, and how to juggle all my responsibilites including going to school. It took away some of the anxieties I was feeling about returning to school.
 Only useful if you haven't read or heard anything about college Feb 28, 2011
By Jennifer
This book is cheesy and generalized. If you've ever read an article or had a conversation about going back to college as an adult, you won't learn anything here. It's largely corny pep talks and obvious tips (study for tests, don't give up). Totally disappointing.
