This college guide has a unique angle--it was written to help parents cope with their children's academic journey by identifying the stress of this transition. Spohn, a British-born computer systems architect living in Colorado, has gone through the process of sending three of her children through college. She now offers advice on how to choose the right college, prepare your children for campus life, plan financial assistance and health insurance and finally adjust to the new family dynamics. A chapter is also dedicated to the subject of what to do with your child's room after they leave the nest. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
