User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Great Book
I always enjoy the Chicken Soup for the soul books. This is great for a college student, who doesn’t have a alot of time to read but enjoys some short real life stories.
4 Stars Chicken Soup Is Good for You
Chicken Soup continues to publish sappy stories, but they touch you none-the-less and are always there for a good cry! More importantly, the stories let you know that someone else has had the same or a similar experience. You’re not alone.
4 Stars It relates to me
Chicken Soup for the College Soul: Inspiring and Humorous Stories about College was a great book. It had many stories that related to me, and they were not stories that would only happen to certain people but they could happen to anyone. It really inspired me and influenced me to be more outgoing.
5 Stars a more personal idea
All the Chicken Soup books are very sweet. I got this one and the one for teenage souls for my son. He liked reading the intimate stories about college, since he’ll be there soon. But more personally meaningful was a copy of “Words to Live By: A Journal of Wisdomfor Someone You Love” that my wife and I filled out for him, with our own life lessons and experiences. It started some wonderful conversations. I highly recommend it too.
5 Stars A Must Read!
As a current college student, I loved Chicken Soup for the College Soul. It captured the uncertainty, exciting, nervous, and thrilling feelings of college and bottled them into a fabulous book. I enjoyed the book because the stories were relatable. Even though I have never experienced many of the situations in the stories, having the stories written by real people made me feel like I could. It motivated me to not only cherish the four short year of my college experience, but to take the knowledge that I will obtain in and out of the classroom, and contribute to the world in positive ways.
Many of the stories tugged on my heartstrings and made me tear up. Other’s had me laughing so hard my sister wanted me to read them to her. I also learned how my parents must have felt leaving me at my college while they went home. Of course I was homesick the first few days, but that’s nothing compared to the feeling of letting go of a child. I gained so much appreciation for my parents after stories like these.
I recommend Chicken Soup for the College Soul for everyone- those about to go to college, those in college, and those who graduated college. It is an inspiring read- and it made me want to stay in college FOREVER! College is a time to meet new people, learning interesting things, and learn and come to terms with who you really are. It’s great to have a book that captures these special moments.
