Few people have as much experience helping students cope with college life as Douglas Stone, a long-time Harvard residential adviser and coauthor of Difficult Conversations, and Elizabeth Tippett, recent Harvard graduate and founding director of the university's peer mediation program. In Real College, they join forces to help students deal with nightmare roommates, handle academic pressures, make smart choices about alcohol and sex, communicate with parents, and address all the other big issues that can make college as challenging as it is exciting. Stone and Tippett deliver insightful, pragmatic advice with humor and compassion, in a style that parents and students alike will appreciate. This is one book that no college student should be without.

Every generation of college students, no matter how different from its predecessor, has been an enigma to faculty and administration, to parents, and to society in general. Watching today’s students “holding themselves in because they had to get A’s not only on tests but on deans’ reports and recommendations,” Helen Lefkowitz Horowitz, author of the highly praised Alma Mater, began to ask, “What has gone wrong—how did we get where we are today?” Campus Life is the result of her search—through college studies, alumni autobiographies, and among students themselves—for an answer. She begins in the post-revolutionary years when the peculiarly American form of college was born, forced in the student-faculty warfare: in 1800, pleasure-seeking Princeton students, angered by disciplinary action, “show pistols . . . and rolled barrels filled with stones along the hallways.” She looks deeply into the campus through the next two centuries, to show us student society as revealed and reflected in the students’ own codes of behavior, in the clubs (social and intellectual), in athletics, in student publications, and in student government. And we begin to notice for the first time, from earliest days till now, younger men, and later young women as well, have entered not a monolithic “student body” but a complex world containing three distinct sub-cultures. We see how from the beginning some undergraduates have resisted the ritualized frivolity and rowdiness of the group she calls “College Men.” For the second group, the “Outsiders,” college was not so much a matter of secret societies, passionate team spirit and college patriotism as a serious preparation for a profession; and over the decades their ranks were joined by ambitious youths from all over rural America, by the first college women, by immigrants, Jews, “townies,” blacks, veterans, and older women beginning or continuing their education. We watch a third subculture of “Rebels”—both men and women – emerging in the early twentieth century, transforming individual dissent into collective rebellion, contending for control of collegiate politics and press, and eventually—in the 1960s—reordering the whole college/university world. Yet, Horowitz demonstrates, in spite of the tumultuous 1960s, in spite of the vast changes since the nineteenth century, the ways in which undergraduates work and play have continued to be shaped by whichever of the three competing subcultures—college men and women, outsiders, and rebels—is in control. We see today’s campus as dominated by the new breed of outsiders (they began to surface in the 1970s) driven to pursue their future careers with a “grim professionalism.” And as faint and sporadic signs emerge of (perhaps) a new activism, and a new attraction to learning for its own sake, we find that Helen Lefkowitz Horowitz has given us, in this study, a basis for anticipated the possible nature of the next campus generation.

Excerpt from Student Life and Customs A book on Student Life in Universities and Colleges has to deal chiefly with the way and manner in which students react against the regular work of the institution and its rules and regulations in order to preserve their individuality. The discipline of the institution, both as to the learning which it teaches and as to the regulations it imposes, tends to efface the independence of the student and to make him in some sense a mere automaton. But, on the other hand, the learning taught at the university, although it is remote from the present life of the student, is of such a character as to give him confidence in himself by enlarging his survey of the world in which he lives. In this aspect the student finds his individuality stimulated and developed. He feels that he is enlightened as compared with the prosaic ordinary citizen, or as compared with his former self. Goaded by the contradiction between his growing individuality and his sense of the slight done to his likes and preferences by the requirements of the school, the student reacts against the established order in which he finds himself, and endeavours to recover his internal equilibrium by proving his personal ability to destroy the social might that manifests itself in his community, and more especially in the school of which he is a member. Education involves two wills: an individual will and an institutional will. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Many students arrive at university with the idea that this will be 'the time of their lives'. However, some students find that being a fresher is not all it's cracked-up to be: they are not immediately at ease with university culture and find it hard to deal with the day-to-day issues arising from living away from home. The Student Life Handbook draws on the experiences of over 160 students from all over the UK to offer practical advice on balancing domestic demands with university study. Covering many aspects of university life such as finance, accommodation, leaving home and joining the social scene, this guide will help students reap the greatest possible benefit and enjoyment from their time at university.

The eviscerating manifesto that made the Situationist International a household name around the world! In 1966, prior to Guy Debord's Society of the Spectacle led millions to question their daily activities and existence, the Situationist International was an unknown revolutionary art organization. The classic French situationist text by students in Strasbourg, Germany that powerfully critiqued society and exploded minds in 1967. It will no doubt hold as much relevance today and have the same affect on you. On the Poverty of Student Life sparked the infamous occupation of universities in Paris in 1968 with its critical dogma, "In the world of the student, every type of social practice is controlled to the utmost degree. Shifting the entire guilty conscience about society onto students serves to mask everyone's poverty and servitude." As a text approaching 50 years old, it is, at times, powerfully illuminating, and at others extremely frustrating. At its core, the bold claims are that the academy should not be a factory into the workforce.

This edited volume explores the history of student life throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Chapter authors examine the expanding reach of scholarship on the history of college students; the history of underrepresented students, including black, Latino, and LGBTQ students; and student life at state normal schools and their successors, regional colleges and universities, and at community colleges and evangelical institutions. The book also includes research on drag and gender and on student labor activism, and offers new interpretations of fraternity and sorority life. Collectively, these chapters deepen scholarly understanding of students, the diversity of their experiences at an array of institutions, and the campus lives they built.
