First-year university is challenging, but counsellor Janet Miller promises that it doesn't need to be overwhelming. Whether you're transitioning straight from high school or have taken a gap year, this guided tour through first year demystifies the process - from registering for classes and making the most of orientation to prepping for exams. With wit and wisdom, Miller shares what she's learned from thousands of students who have walked the campus hallways before you. This book doesn't tell you what you should do. It tells you what you need to know so you can follow in their footsteps, hit your own stride, and thrive.
