Book Cover & Preview Text
Jennifer went to an off-campus party one Friday evening, and immediately hit it off with Johnny. He was handsome, with a quick smile and a great personality - and he was not drinking like most of the other partygoers. Jennifer knew that Johnny was going to be someone special. As it turns out, Johnny was very special indeed. After talking for an hour or so, Johnny asked to borrow Jennifer’s vehicle so he could run to the store. Thinking he was one of the “good guys”, she readily agreed. He made mention that he would be back “as soon as possible”. Two things he failed to explain to Jennifer were “as soon as possible” could be just about any length of time and the “store” was located two-hundred miles away.

About the Book
Oftentimes, colleges and universities fail to prepare prospective students for all that accompanies everyday life in a college setting. Questions such as, What are some of the dangers of campus life? How can I avoid extensive parking violations? and, How can I best protect myself against campus crime? often go unanswered because they are unpleasant topics, with complicated answers. It is my hope that "The Other Side to Campus Life" will illuminate some of these potential pitfalls of campus life and improve the overall college experience for incoming students.
