Review
"The Community College Experience Plus textbook arrived in the mail to me unsolicited. As a college study skills instructor, I frequently receive books of this type. Almost as frequently, I am disappointed in them because they aren't organized and/or focused on the college success/study issues that I want to teach. So I end up picking and choosing from a text and finding other outside resources. I also regularly say that I'm going to put together my own materials for my class. Then this book arrived with all the issues we teach here and featuring an integration of learning styles throughout the book as well as 'from college to university,' 'from college to career,' and case scenarios integrated into each chapter."

Product Description
For Introduction to College, College Survival, and College Seminar courses.
The Community College Experience P.L.U.S. edition helps students: Prepare. Link. Understand. Support. This book is written with the community college student in mind, the non-traditional student who needs basic information, as well as encouragement that going to college and balancing work and family can be accomplished. It also provides first-generation students with an understanding of college’s culture and function. Their success will hinge on whether or not they are adequately prepared for the unique challenges that they will face. This book covers a range of topics that will give the first-time community college student the advantage: from examining why a student has enrolled in college, to forging meaningful relationships while in college, to how to write, make presentations, and study effectively, to what a student will do after attending a community college.
Different from the version of the book published in 2005, this expanded edition offers more exercises at the end of the chapters so that students can spend time reflecting and researching the ideas that are presented. More information has been added about health issues and relationships so that students are better prepared physically, mentally, and emotionally to make the commitment to complete a certificate or degree.
