They know how to study for a test — but not how to choose the right college, talk to a professor, build a professional network, or turn a degree into a career. Nobody taught them how college actually works. Until now.
The Insider's Guide to College SuccessWritten by a professor who spent more than 23 years in higher education — first as a student navigating every level of the system, then as a professor who watched thousands of students struggle with the same avoidable mistakes — What Professors Wish Students Knew gives students and parents the honest, practical guidance that most college guides skip entirely.
Inside, you'll learn how to:
- Choose the right college for your learning style, goals, and budget — including what to look for that rankings never tell you
- Build real relationships with professors who can write recommendations, open doors, and change your trajectory
- Study smarter, earn better grades, and recover when things go wrong
- Land internships, build a professional network, and use LinkedIn to open doors before graduation
- Protect your mental health, manage your time, and thrive outside the classroom
- Prepare for life after graduation — whether that means a first job or graduate school
- Understand how artificial intelligence is reshaping college and the workforce — and what skills you need to stay ahead
- Navigate today's rapidly shifting campus landscape, including federal policy changes, rising costs, and your rights as a student
This isn't a generic guide full of obvious tips. Every chapter draws on real classroom experience, current research, and the kind of frank insider advice you'd only get from a professor who genuinely wants to see you succeed. The author is a multiple teaching-award winner who still mentors students today as an internship supervisor — and it shows on every page.
Whether you're a high school student thinking about college, a parent trying to help your teen make smart decisions, or a first-generation college student figuring it all out on your own — this book gives you the map you were never handed.
College is one of the best investments you can make. This book makes sure it pays off.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
