this was the textbook used in my student services course for my masters in higher education degree program. it's an excellent reference book because there really is a wealth of information about student affairs and the important role it plays within higher education. with no real background in sociology or psychology, the theories and their descriptions took some time to really grasp and understand. i decided not to sell this book back to the bookstore because i truly believe that it has the potential to be a useful tool and resource for other courses as well as in my day to day professional career.

Everything you could ever want to know about the basics of Student Affairs. Probably full of great information, but so dry, dull, and boring that it's next to impossible to get through more than a couple of pages at a time. Would be great as a reference book.

A good overview of what has been happening in the field of higher education. However, if this book is not accompanied with good facilitation of it into today's context it is kind of a bore. The parts on ethics are still helpful and necessary.

One of the textbooks for my graduate program. There is so much insight in this book. I really enjoyed it!

A good introduction to the field, although can be a little hard to read at times because it is so full of information.
