Going to college is a dream come true or another stepping stone in a well-planned life. A cheerful dorm that never sleeps, or a more organized life in a rented apartment. And maybe even a familiar routine with mom’s pancakes for breakfast and a familiar from childhood room in the home – all the same life of a five minutes adult changes beyond recognition when he becomes a student.

New friends in the motley and numerous crowd of classmates. Obscure subjects that become closer and more interesting day by day. Long lists of specific literature, nightly vigils over term papers, anxiety before exams. Enticement of unpredictable free luck, every magic of which is a boisterous holiday. Or you can only count on your persistence and work to conquer new peaks.

According to EssayAssistant, here are the most funny and realistic books about students life.
