College can be unpredictable, even messy. In Real College, students get realistic tools for navigating college with reflection and intention, as well as a clear-eyed look at the challenges, growth, and surprises that make the journey worth it.
Real College is a practical, honest guide to first-year college success—one that never strays from the real lives of today’s students. It covers all the essentials: adjusting from high school, managing time and money, building relationships, note-taking, study strategies, critical thinking and information literacy, working with professors, staying healthy, and more.
But it goes further, recognizing that not all students arrive with the same background, resources, or expectations. This book is for everyone: full-time and part-time students, students from every type of college, background, and lived experience, and students juggling work, caregiving, financial pressure, and/or just plain uncertainty. Throughout, Real College strikes a balance: upbeat but realistic, encouraging but unflinching. What sets it apart is its deep respect for students’ actual experiences. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach here—just honest, inclusive guidance to help students succeed on their own terms.
