"College is
both a crisis and an opportunity," write Alex and Brett Harris in
the foreword to Thriving at College. And so it is. Oftentimes just
maintaining a strong level of faith is a challenge--even on a
Christian campus.
Alex
Chediak, author and associate professor of engineering and physics
at California Baptist University, encourages prospective and
current college students to make the most of their college years.
Chediak reminds readers that college, relationships, character, and
academics matter and shows them how to avoid 10 common mistakes
college students often make, from "Chucking Your Faith" to "Wasting
Opportunities."
Each chapter
includes a list of discussion starters such as "How intentional
have you been in seeking out quality close friends?" "What things
really refresh and recharge you?" "What do you think about the
concept of vocation?" and "Have you ever tried to use a
budget?"
Whether your
child is a junior in college, or a high schooler uncertain about
his future, this book provides insight, tips, and advice to not
just survive, but thrive in today's college culture!
