From the Publisher
With serious crime, race, union strikes, soaring costs among the issues on Ivy League campuses, there is clearly a gap between how Americans perceive elite colleges and how they really are. In The Select, Howard Greene breaks through the halo effect to get to the truth of what life is really like at these universities.
Using advanced polling techniques, extensive focus groups and one-on-one in-depth interviews with students, Greene explores the crucial yet often ignored issues about the academic experience the price of a prestigious education; dating and social life; safety on campus; alcohol, drugs and eating disorders; political activism and correctness; and diversity and racism, in order to give parents and students a better overview of what to expect from America's top colleges.
This indispensable guide will break new ground and provide lasting reference for applicants and parents alike.
