A practical guide for avoiding debt and success sounds like a must-read! Especially for my cousin! I'm getting him a copy for sure.

Thanks for your review.

The material seems like what my son and I went through when he began college. The information about obtaining credit and avoiding credit card debt is probably the most important thing in this book,as most of this information you mentioned is available for free from HS guidance counselors.

This review is full of topics that would be valuable information. It is well written and covers the areas that are essential for the reader to know before diving into this book. Being debt free is no easy task so any sort of help goes a long way. I am definitely going to hang onto this for when my kids go to college.

Thank you for your insightful review. From the few pages of the book sample and what you've written, I could surmise that this is a helpful guide for those who value university education but also want to be debt-free even after studying. It also made me remember my own early life choices when I applied and qualified for a number of college scholarships. I started out as a scholar at the Philippines' topmost state university and finished my bachelor's degree in the country's premier military training institution with free tuition, allowances, and a stable, honourable career thereafter. Therefore, what the author may have wanted to achieve in this book are not only relatable and plausible but also possible and realisable.

The review is sweet and I love it. In simple terms, it explained how to prepare a student for pre- college, college and post college life. Its highly recommended for teens and parents.

I like that there is a little something for everyone in this book with the budgeting, job seeking and retirement information and it isn't just limited to college application information. Seems like something I wish I had to read when I was in high school.

I agree that this book should be available for students in high school, college campuses, libraries, really any place someone is looking to get higher education or debt relief. I believe everyone can benefit from reading about lowering debts. This is a must read for me. Great review.

As a high school teacher, I cannot thank you enough for your wonderful review of today's BOTD! Had I seen this college guide earlier in the day, I would have told all of my students to download it. Either way, I plan to post it on our classroom book recommendations board. Thank you so much! :-)

I somewhat hesitated to read the book but it turned out to be a quick, concise, practical, methodical and directional book. Considering that I have already completed my under graduation, the book gives me insight into what more I could do in life.

The Pre & Post College Student Pocket Guide to Success by Renee J. Bey is an intensive guide that provides clear and concise key points for a student to transition successfully into adulthood - before, during, and after college life.

I'm not the target audience, but I found the tips helpful enough. Thanks for the great review.

I like what this book is about, but I have already passed that chapter in my life and a lot of things don't apply to me. I am not in a hurry to read it.
