Reviews for I'll Miss You Too: The Off-to-College Guide for Parents and Students

I found I'll Miss You Too helpful, witty, and very down-to-earth about how parents and students can face this change with humor and courage... I am holding a Class of 2015 parent send-off and will be giving all of them a copy of this book. My seniors are certainly in the spotlight, but many of their parents need to celebrate their accomplishment of getting their student to graduation as well. I believe many of them will find the book helpful and (I hope) a source of reason...while making the transition to college. - Keo Oura Kounlavong-Sabath, Director of College Counseling, Harrisburg Academy, Pennsylvania My favorite thing about I'll Miss You Too is the transparency on both the student and parent perspective of the college process. I recommend it to all of my families as a powerful resource, especially families who are struggling with communication. - Michele Sternberg, Academic Dean and Director of College Counseling, Saint Edward's School, Florida
