I read this book at the beginning of my first semester of college last year. It had a lot of practical advice on how to keep your faith, on dating as well as how to schedule your time and how to manage your money wisely.

This is the classic example of a book that in hindsight I would have only read a few select chapters of rather than the whole book. Due to the fact that my convictions on many of the topics addressed (such as relationships, identifying with Christ, etc.) are already established and the fact that I'm going to be commuting, much of this book didn't apply to me, however, if you're planning on living at college, you most definitely should read the entire book. The chapters toward the end, particularly the most practical ones I found to be very helpful. If you're going to be commuting and your convictions on the topics above are solid, then I would suggest only reading Chapters 2, 7, 8, and 9.
The one great part is that Chediak most definitely passes the theology test as far as the fundamentals are concerned: in the second appendix, he quotes Sproul, Piper, Miller, Owen, and Edwards!
