About This Book

A sympathetic guide offers succinct, often wry do-not rules for new undergraduates, covering arrival in a college town, room decor, dress, dining etiquette, lecture habits, finances, work, athletics, social behavior, and campus organizations. It stresses personal integrity, sensible spending, earning when necessary, healthful exercise, and avoiding affectation, rowdiness, and petty showmanship. Short admonitions and illustrations point out common pitfalls and practical courtesies, with an aim to help newcomers form constructive habits and manage time, money, and reputation during their first year.
