Críticas

"I was drawn into each reading, finding them accessible and highly interesting. The readings portray good examples of real-life instances that are directly relevant to incoming freshmen. The readings should draw students into thinking about their own experiences and stimulate active class discussions."-Lee Rademacher, Purdue University-Calumet. "I found this collection of readings to be thought-provoking and applicable to the first-year experience from many different perspectives."-Kathryn Lowe, University of Evansville "This book seems to fill a niche which hasn't been particularly well addressed: a literature text which deals specifically with transition issues from the student point of view. It is clear that the authors understand the 'mind' of first-year students."- Anne Lundquist, Guilford College
