According to the latest research, more than one-third of first-year college students report getting homesick; more than 40 percent report being too afraid to approach their professors; and just over 60 percent report experiencing some sort of depression (the percentage increases by junior year). Combine these with the reality that about one-in-four students do not return to the same campus their sophomore year and it's clear—the first year isn't easy.

In The Naked Roommate: And 107 Other Issues You Might Run Into in College, Cohen has completely revised and updated this essential guide used by hundreds of thousands of students.
