This book serves as a guide for mastering the complexities of collegiate success. The focus is on minority students, who tend to be first generation college students and struggle as a result. The author describes every detail of the collegiate process, and provides students with the guidance they need to be successful. He carefully describes his own experiences, as a student and a professor, and informs students of the common pitfalls that plague many minorities as they head off to obtain higher education.
