I got this audiobook for my nephew and neice before they started college, and we ended up listening to parts of it together. It covers everything I wish I had known roommates, time management, budgeting, and more. The advice is practical, straightforward, and easy to apply. There is no filler, it is just real, helpful guidance. My nephew and neice felt way more prepared afterward, and I felt great knowing it made a difference. Highly recommend it.
