Make the Most of It

A Guide to Loving Your College Years

About this book

The perfect gift for high school graduates!
College is a time when new and exciting horizons stretch out before us. We meet new friends and form relationships that last a lifetime. We discern what's most important and what our ultimate direction in life will be. For those of us whose college days are in the rearview mirror, we long for recent graduates to love college and to make the most it. Often, we're at a loss as to what advice to give our friends and family who are heading off to college—even though those years may well be the most consequential years of their lives.

From Biola president Barry Corey comes the perfect guide to making the college years count. It touches on everything from college romances to making friends, from getting sleep to embracing boredom, from your inner life to your social life.

In this slender volume, Barry Corey gives you wisdom that rings true but is rarely passed on. He serves up tips for survival, virtues to embrace, ideas to think about, and habits to cultivate for an enjoyable and flourishing journey through college.

After all, you will remember your college experience for the rest of your life. Make the most of it.
