"How college will be different from high school,"
by Mridu Khullar
Gunnar Fox featured in "How college will be different from high school," by Mridu Khullar
(May edition of Next Step Magazine: Your Life After High School).


“Even high school valedictorians can fall prey to the distractions of college. And even students who performed at an average level in high school can boost their performance to honors caliber if they receive cutting-edge study skills guidance,” says Gunnar Fox, author of Kick Ass in College: A Guerrilla Guide to College Success.

"Strategic Course Selection" by Gunnar Fox
From the American Federation of Teachers On Campus magazine, February, 2006

While we might all admire Leonardo Da Vinci’s breadth of accomplishments in art, architecture, music, engineering, science and anatomy, most of us have considerably more limited passions and abilities. Savvy students are realistic about this, and protect their GPAs by selecting courses in a "defensive" manner when possible. But there is more to strategic course selection than just avoiding hard classes. Students also must leverage their strengths by tackling tougher courses in areas where they are more confident.

"Three gifts sure to put
your child ahead of the game"
Excerpts from Wichita Falls Times Record News, Wednesday, December 21, 2005

"Kick Ass in College," by Gunnar Fox, a book just as appropriate for high school students as it is for the college-bound, available at www.collegesuccessplan.com, $16.95.

If you can get past its bawdy title and the occasional slang, you’ll take a liking to the message Fox tries to tell your kids: The only way to enjoy college is to do well – "kick ass" as he would say – and to work at it like it’s a job.

Because it is.

Even the most obscure class will teach you to hone skills in reading and writing, expressing yourself, meeting deadlines and dealing effectively with a boss – the professor.

"Now tell me," he wrote, "how is that any different from what you’ll be doing in a business suit in a fancy office a few years from now. If you’re looking for the ‘real world’ of your future, look no further: you are in it baby."

Voya Review - December 2005
Targeting the college experience "as a launch pad to success in life," Fox presents fundamental principles for being "truly ready for the tough job market that awaits." In no-nonsense terms, he presents a true "guerrilla guide to college success," covering everything from planning for success, time management, developing a stellar resume, and cultivating a relationship with your professor...






Voya Teen Review - December 2005
Geared towards the "Cool, a book with swears!" college-bound group, this book is masterfully written, albeit in a laid-back style, and contains a ton of useful information.

Professor Angelo’s review as
an educator and broadcaster
As a community college professor (my day job) I can attest to the fact that Gunnar’s book, “Kick Ass in College” is spot-on, both in content and approach… his book should be available in every college bookstore, across the country.

He was a great interview – we may not wait until his next book to ask him back!
