The Black Girl's Guide to College Success tells you a host of information that girls tend to learn through a terrible game of trial and error, such as the importance of maintaining a high GPA from the beginning of their freshman year. In high school you could study the day before an exam and still do well. You simply can not take this approach in college. You MUST study daily You might only see your professor once or twice a week, so it's up to you to devote those other days to studying The Black Girl's Guide to College Success covers the entire college experience from choosing the right major, studying abroad, and obtaining internships, to having fun, balancing out relationships and extracurricular activities, and tough issues like combating feelings of inferiority. Life becomes a little easier when you don't have to figure out EVERYTHING on your own. Millions of black women have graduated from college and have been successful, but having a heads up on how to make it through successfully can only increase the population of black female college graduates.
