Why read it?
1 author picked Making the Most of College as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I wish I could have read this book before I entered college.
Based on in-depth interviews with students at Harvard, Light’s well-written book offers superb academic and personal advice for students entering college and for faculty members who wish to help their students develop.
The book covers the full range of college experience and offers many counter-intuitive insights, including students’ enthusiasm for foreign-language classes, which tend to be small and offer students regular feedback. The anecdotes are, in turn, engaging, surprising, and helpful.
From Mark's list on books for students about to enter college.
