Parents Guide to College Life
Industry pal Robin Raskin has a new book out: Parents Guide to College Life. Renown as the 'Internet Mom,' she's been all about 'raising kids in a digital age,' for several years.
The market is saturated with college admissions guides, but this candid book will focus on questions like:
·How much money should my son/daughter be spending a week?
·Is it wise to give my child a checkbook? A credit card?
·Should she/he take a semester abroad? What are the downsides? The benefits?
·How can we choose the best meal plan?
·Does my son/daughter need a laptop or a desktop computer?
·Should she/he be working a job while attending school?
Check it out if you have a kid heading off to college.

Yep, tons of college guides out there. My problem with such guides is that it's in the best interest of the authors to embellish -- the more college culture sounds scary and dangerous, the more parents will buy how-to guides.
