Descriere completă

"Amid all the talk about what life is like on college campuses, Barrett Seaman has done something very valuable: he actually went out and reported what really is happening. From sex to drugs to studying, he provides a fascinating and reliable report that every parent ought to read carefully." - Walter Isaacson, New York Times bestselling author of Benjamin Franklin: An American Life "Binge is an important book written with the insight and passion of a college trustee and the objectivity and eloquence of a veteran journalist. Seaman's comprehensive recommendations are logical, sensible, and ambitious. If heeded, they should be a major catalyst for change." - Eugene M. Tobin, Program Officer for the Liberal Arts Colleges Program at the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Just how hard are students studying? Has diversity worked on campus? What's the "right" drinking age? How can parents help- or hurt- their child's chances for success? Barrett Seaman embarked on a two-year investigation of colleges and universities across North America to answer these and other questions about the real story of campus life today. In Binge, he reveals what every parent, student, and educator needs to know about the disturbing trends- from depression and substance abuse to racial tension and isolation- as well as the reasons for optimism. Offering provocative, well-informed suggestions for improving the undergraduate experience, Binge is an extraordinary investigative work that lays bare the realities of higher education.
