Review Quotes
Susan Herbst, president, University of Connecticut
“How to Succeed in College is the best book I have ever read about the student experience and how to navigate academic life in any college or university. Gould is a professor who cares deeply about student success, understands the student/teacher relationship, and has a terrific sense of humor. If we could somehow get every high school senior and college freshman, guidance counselor, and parent in the country to read this book, our college students would make the most out of their education, one of the most important investments they will ever make.”
John Gilliom, Ohio University
“Professor Gould offers new students the knowledge they need to make their college years a successful and transformative experience. When I finished reading the book, I delivered it straight into the hands of my college-bound daughter.”
Lynn O'Shaughnessy, author of The College Solution
“While there are countless books on how to get into college, very few explain how students can succeed once they arrive there. This book teaches students how to squeeze the absolute most out of their college experience.”
