How to Win at College by Cal Newport

4.0

How I wished I read this before going to college. Now I am in my 30s and I actually read this first to see if this is worth gifting to my cousins who are currently in college. Some tips are practical and common sense, some are quite pushing the competitive nature narrative of college life but I guess students even if they are outside of America will still find the snippets in here very much applicable to every facet of their college life.

Since I am working on my postgraduate application, this book somewhat shifted my perspective and I am so pumped up to just send that application out.
