In a book with a photo-driven, magazinelike layout, the editors of Seventeen magazine offer an array of advice for girls gearing up for college. Topics include choosing the right dorm room “vibe,” going to parties, budgeting, dating, eating, maintaining long-distance relationships, and dressing for college life (“When you oversleep—and you will—reach for fail-safe skinnies and a cozy sweater”). Quotes from actual college students on what to pack, whether to join a sorority, fashion styles to sample, and myriad other subjects should help ease freshman into these transformative years. Ages 15–up. (June)
