"College is both a crisis and an opportunity," write Alex and Brett Harris in the foreword to Thriving at College. And so it is. Oftentimes just maintaining a strong level of faith is a challenge--even on a Christian campus.

Alex Chediak, author and associate professor of engineering and physics at California Baptist University, encourages prospective and current college students to make the most of their college years. Chediak reminds readers that college, relationships, character, and academics matter and shows them how to avoid 10 common mistakes college students often make, from "Chucking Your Faith" to "Wasting Opportunities."

Each chapter includes a list of discussion starters such as "How intentional have you been in seeking out quality close friends?" "What things really refresh and recharge you?" "What do you think about the concept of vocation?" and "Have you ever tried to use a budget?"

Whether your child is a junior in college, or a high schooler uncertain about his future, this book provides insight, tips, and advice to not just survive, but thrive in today's college culture!
