  <default_description>&lt;B&gt;A revealing look at the college freshman experience, from an insider's point of view&lt;/B&gt; &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt; After fifteen years of teaching anthropology at a large university, Rebekah Nathan had become baffled by her own students. Their strange behavior&amp;#151;eating meals at their desks, not completing reading assignments, remaining silent through class discussions&amp;#151;made her feel as if she were dealing with a completely foreign culture. So Nathan decided to do what anthropologists do when confused by a different culture: Go live with them. She enrolled as a freshman, moved into the dorm, ate in the dining hall, and took a full load of courses. And she came to understand that being a student is a pretty difficult job, too. Her discoveries about contemporary undergraduate culture are surprising and her observations are invaluable, making &lt;I&gt;My Freshman Year&lt;/I&gt; essential reading for students, parents, faculty, and anyone interested in educational policy.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[When I bought this book, I expected it to be anecdotal: funny stories about a professor acting as a college student, trying to fit in, having fun with classmates, trying to figure out the college life, etc. However, the book is instead an anthropological study of college life and college students, w...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2692179">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Good insight into what the university is like from the point of view of first-year students. Thankfully, many of the problems described here don't apply to BYU to the same degree. I particularly like the &quot;lessons learned.&quot; Most important quotation: &quot;Most professors and administrators ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/72258910">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[My Freshman Year: What a Professor Learned by Becoming a Student by Rebekah Nathan fascinated me as a faculty member and a parent of college students.

Federal and state funding of higher education has dramatically decreased in the past few decades, requiring universities to increase tuition and seek alternative funding, often corporate.

    <body><![CDATA[Maybe I went into this book with my hopes too high. It was interesting, but I found it to be lacking. In reading the afterward, I think I figured out what that is.

It's by an anthropology professor who enrolls as a full-time student and moves into the dorms in order to better understand student culture.
