The Select
Based on the results of a groundbreaking survey of more than 4,000 students at twenty of the top universities in the country conducted by Howard Greene, The Select describes the quality of education and daily life at these elite schools, and explores the dramatic changes in undergraduate life. Howard Greene breaks through the "Halo Effect" to get to the truth about what life is really like at these schools. Using advanced polling techniques, extensive focus groups, and one-on-one in-depth interviews with students, Greene explores crucial, yet often ignored, issues - the academic life, 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
