Over the years, the college experience has changed dramatically for young adults. Higher education is expensive, job security after graduation isn't guaranteed, and rapidly evolving technology has raised the stakes.

In The Backpacker's Guide to University, Dr. Jo Phillips and Martin Griffin draw on their combined 45 years of experience teaching both high school and college to offer the ultimate guide to making the most of your time in higher education. Together, they demystify the complexities of college life and share practical advice on navigating academic expectations, adjusting to campus culture, and developing independent learning skills.

This book urges students to embrace the backpacker approach--a transformative mindset that empowers them to embrace curiosity, stay adaptable, and make the most of every opportunity college has to offer.

Features and benefits include:

  • Short, actionable guidance supported by the latest research in the field.
  • Insights from two experienced educators--one from high school, one from college teaching.
  • Step-by-step tasks designed to guide students from pre-arrival through their first year and beyond.
  • A warm, approachable style that uses the metaphor of backpacking to make complex ideas simple and engaging.
