has captured the college experience like never before.

It took college freshman Aaron Karo only one week to realize that college was a joke — an especially funny one that he could share with his friends in a regular email newsletter about life on campus. By his senior year, Ruminations on College Lifehad become an international phenomenon. Now, for the first time in print, here is the best of the original ezine, previously unpublished material, and brand new introductions to each section by the author. Share in the absurdity and insanity of the college experience with Karo as you read his outrageous inside account of scheming students, crazy professors, confused parents, and rowdy frat boys.

Perfect for anyone who is destined for college, currently surviving it, or already a veteran, this book is a cult classic readers can enjoy alone or read out loud at their next party for tons of laughs.
