Making the Most of College
a book by Richard Light, is one of the texts for my class. My students find it occasionally "obvious" but it does have some really interesting insights regarding making the most of one's college experiences based on interviews with Harvard Undergrads...I recommend it, especially for the graduating high school senior...
it is not filled with hopelessly pedantic advice like "manage your time wisely" and "study a little every day" and "don't binge drink." More subtle issues are considered, like the effect of diversity on learning and your experience, the role of extracurriculars, what people valued after they graduated most about the classes they took and so forth.
