In this important resource, leading figures in the field of student affairs examine the key issue of student expectations of college, then contrast them with the real experiences of students. The book identifies strategies for addressing the disjunctions between expectation and experience. Sponsored by the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators, the book is intended as the starting point for campus discussions and will undoubtedly spark similar conversations across higher education leadership, and perhaps even among parents and students as well.
