STUDENT PRAISE FOR THE BOOK
“Dr. Pizio has been instrumental in my success in school from the first day I stepped foot on campus at orientation. So many pieces of advice he taught me my first year made the transition into college so much easier and helped me form relationships that still help me today. I think anyone who is about to start college could learn a lot from this book!”
“There is no one else that I’d take advice from on getting through college.
Dr. Pizio was a professor that I can actually say made a difference in my life, not just as a student, but as a person.”
“This is a book I wish I had read before I went to college. It was written well after I got out, and these are the exact lessons Dr. Pizio taught me as a student. As a teacher myself now, I recommend this book to all of my counselor friends and friends with kids getting ready for college. The lessons in this book are so important to surviving college. The contents are approachable for any college bound students and speaks to them on their level.”
“I am a Student Affairs professional who has worked in Residence Life and First Year Experience for the past nine years. After reading Will Pizio’s book myself, I can ,without a doubt, say this should be required reading for every incoming first-year student. I was also in Will’s First Year Experience course and it absolutely contributed to my collegiate success. He thoughtfully guided me with lessons that I needed to hear. I can’t put into words how much Will helped me in my transition by providing a solid foundation for me as a first-year college student. Much of my success in life can be attributed to his mentoring me that first year.”
