When high school students think of college life, images of parties and
new people and late-night pizza instantly come to mind. Only upon moving
in does a freshman realize the buzz-killing downside to the blissful
freedom: a 12 x 12 dorm room often shared with a stranger. With Knack
Dorm Living, Casey Lewis--herself a college senior at the University of
Missouri--provides the guide she searched for, in vain, in her freshman
year. She offers invaluable tips on what to pack and what to buy, what
to expect, decorating, clothes, and organizing time and money. This is
an ideal high school graduation gift for high school seniors--both girls
and guys--set to move away from home.
