| College Prep College preparation has become something that parents and students start thinking about in elementary school. The college admissions season now extends through the final two years of high school for most students and their families. Ever-mounting evidence shows that a college degree is one of the primary determinants of future economic success for most young Americans. These realities have caused the college search process and the first-year experience to loom ever larger in our collective consciousness. The COVID-19 pandemic's upheaval of the higher education system in the United States and the scandals of selective college admissions have only increased the need for clear explanations, wise counsel, and fresh insights into college selection, as well as surviving and thriving in university life. These titles represent some of the most practical, detailed, clear, critical, and diverse perspectives on picking, achieving, and living the dream that is higher education today.
