Academia: Proof Alterative Realities Exist A guide to working with community colleges Richard ‘Doc’ Knaub Project Leader Deployment and Market Transformation Center 303-275-3261 Richard.Knaub@nrel.gov 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. Too often, students rely on prestige as the key reason for applying to a college. The Select looks beyond the name to the day-to-day life at each of these schools, to give a real sense of the environment facing students in their undergraduate years. The Select is an essential book for any family seeking admission to the most prestigious schools in the country.
