I recently picked up Go to college without going broke: 33 ways to save your time, money and sanity on Amazon (at the time, it was a free Kindle book).  As I’m currently about to start my FAFSA for grad school, and also  for my niece who will be a senior next year.

Honestly, the whole thing reads like a massive brain fart.  College books can be tough because colleges are different, but I felt like this advice was pretty blah.  He advises taking AP Classes and using CLEP tests to get credit for courses for your degree at a lower rate.  I felt that this advice was the best in the book, provided that your college accepts these credits.

However, some of his advice ranged from ill-advised to pompous.  He admits that cheap food is unhealthy.  He also has ways to get inexpensive textbooks (yay!), but then goes into concepts I find shady/would not want my niece to read.  His advice on employment has a similar range:  he suggests waitress over a retail job because of the tips, but also suggests modeling.  He lists ways to get into normal modeling,, but also recommends nude modeling.  I have heard of people who do this, and it is much harder work than he glibly makes it out to be.
