#1 Student Handbook The Naked Roommate is August eBook of Month
Expert advice from best-selling author and syndicated columnist Harlen Cohen
DUBLIN, Ohio, USA, 31 July 2009—According to the latest research, over one-third of first year college students report getting homesick; more than 40 percent report being too afraid to approach their professors; and just over 60 percent report experiencing some sort of depression (the percentage increases by junior year). Combine these with the reality that about 1 in 4 students do not return to the same campus their sophomore year and it's clear -- the first year isn't easy.
In The Naked Roommate: And 107 Other Issues You Might Run Into in College, best-selling author, syndicated columnist and professional speaker Harlan Cohen provides a behind-the-scenes look at everything students need to know about college (but never knew they needed to know). Completely revised and updated, this essential guide used by hundreds of thousands of students is packed with expert advice on everything from managing money to managing stress—plus hilarious, outrageous, and telling stories from students on over 100 college campuses.
The Naked Roommate is the #1 bestselling college life guide, and Harlan Cohen is the top voice on college life. Through his speaking engagements, college tour, music, and Website, he has reached thousands of students with his message of relaxing, being yourself, and making the most of the college years. With calendars, planners, and The Naked Roommate being used as the first year experience guide at colleges across the country, The Naked Roommate is the top name in college life advice.
