Product Description:
This book states that "studying is an art that has to be learned, practiced, and refined." This is particularly true at the college level.

This book recognizes that students prefer varying learning styles and that different study techniques may be necessary for different subjects.

Recommended techniques on how to study are provided for lecture classes (such as history, sociology, psychology, etc) as well as science, math, and foreign language courses.
The complete title of this book is How to Study and Other Skills for Success in College.

Information on what to expect at college in terms of living arrangements, academic demands, social pressures, parental pressures, and financial pressures is also included.
