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.
