All the Advice I Wish I Got Before Going to College
The Goodnight Dorm Room book is a fun illustrated book, but it is also filled with great information for teens who are planning for college.
It is meant to be a “faux” children’s book, so the whole thing looks and feels lighthearted.
The illustrations are fantastic and the text is funny, but the information the book contains is practical and helpful.
It’s perfect for teenagers, since it informs without overwhelming.
The book is written for high schoolers who are beginning to prepare for college, but some motivated middle schoolers will like it, too.
And, current college students can still enjoy the humor and will find some relevant information.

Synopsis
College!
It’s one of the most amazing experiences life has to offer.
But what actually happens there?
How do you make the most of four transforming years?
What should you expect?
And what the heck is a roommate?
This book answers the most pressing questions that college-bound high school graduates probably never think to ask.
Like: Why should I get to my dorm room early on Day 1?
Or is it really a bad idea if I major in archaeology?
And how does one use a “washing machine”?
Fully illustrated by talented San Francisco-based artist, Emily Fromm, this book has all the advice and information that every college grad wishes they had gotten before freshman year started.
