College Students! discussion

Hm.. I know I´m not a active member, but this doesn´t mean I don´t love you lol

I´m tryingo to find book about (or set in) colleges, showing college life in America. I´m from Brazil and I´m very jealous of the american system.

Including non-fiction, fiction, ya. Whatever. I´ve been watching Gilmore Girls lately, and Rory goes to Yale, so I´m totally in the mood.

Tks in advance :)

I haven't read any of these books (so I can't recommend them), but I did a search and this is what I found:
[image error] They're all different genres, but apparently all take place in (or are about) college.

Here's some lists that might help too:

*whooph* ..that took longer than I thought it would :P!

You should try the Jessica Darling series. They chronicle a girl from late high school until she graduates college. The first one is called Sloppy Firsts and goes until Perfect Fifths A Novel. That was just one that popped in my head. I'll post if I think of more.

It's also funny that you're jealous of us, when I know a lot of people (including myself) would be envious of YOU in beautiful Brazil. :) But I know what you mean about getting influenced by Gilmore Girls. I think I actually WANTED to study while I was in school everytime I saw episodes of Rory in college, haha.

Thank you girls! :) I´ll check them out!

Sorry for taking your time Mandee lol

:) ha!
I love looking for new books to read :)... which is probably why I took longer than I expected.. I get sucked in!

I'm reading Matrimony: A Novel right now and I am definitely loving the college life in this novel. I especially feel like the author does a great job showing how some of us are feeling around graduation--what do we do? Where do we go? It's nice to read books with main characters that are going through the same thing as I am.

I'm going to try and get an interview with the author!

I love that series, but it kinda went downhill after the third book for me.

Mandee, the third link was really helpful. Thank you so much. I started that series a few years back but I could never remember the names of the books.

I love I Am Charlotte Simmons by Tom Wolfe. It's about a girl who is just starting her freshmen year at a fictitious Ivy League university. I've read it twice (once in high school, and then during my first month of college because I couldn't stop thinking back to that book as I was adjusting to college-life).

I've also read Chloe Does Yale, which was an okay book about a Yale student who writes the sex column for her college paper.

The Rule of Four revolves around two Princeton students, and it's an intellectual murder mystery. I read it a few years ago, so I don't remember much about it, but I gave it three stars.

Kayla--I've been wanting to re ad I am Charlotte Simmons!

It's a really great book, though I didn't care as much for Charlotte after I read it the second time.
