Welcome to College is filled with helpful information for those who are headed to college. College is full of freedom, new friends, and other experiences which can affect a young adults future. This book covers everything from A to Z dealing with life at college:
- eating right
- dating
- being more like Jesus
- how to read the Bible
- true tolerance
- and more
In this second edition each chapter has been updated and there is a new chapter of Christianity, homosexuality, and the Bible. There are also discussion questions, a section called “The Big Ideas” at the end of each chapter, and each chapter has a list of resources for more information.

My thoughts-
I was very impressed when I opened the package and began skimming through this book. What I first noticed was the short chapters and each chapter had a “The Big Ideas” section and “For Further Discovery” (long list of resources). At the end of the book was a section that held the discussion questions from each chapter. The one thing that was missing, and I thought it needed to be there, was an index. It would be very helpful to have an index to look up topics, rather than relying on the table of contents.
As I read this book I thought of what I would think of the book as a student going to college and as a parent of one who would be going to college soon. I thought the information was current and very helpful. It gave me a lot to think about as a Christian and how I want to raise my children.
Welcome to College is:
- worth the price.
- great for small study groups at home, school, or church.
- very full of information, so it needs to be read slowly and carefully.
- needed in the hands of high school students, so pass it along.
I highly recommend this book.
