Unfortunately, most of these freshmen soon learn that academic life is not what they imagined. Classes are taught by overworked graduate students and adjuncts rather than seasoned faculty members, undergrads receive minimal attention from advisors or administrators, and potentially valuable campus resources remain outside their grasp.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAndrew Roberts' \u003ci\u003eThinking Student's Guide to College\u003c\/i\u003e helps students take charge of their university experience by providing a blueprint they can follow to achieve their educational goals-whether at public or private schools, large research universities or small liberal arts colleges. An inside look penned by a professor at Northwestern University, this book offers concrete tips on choosing a college, selecting classes, deciding on a major, interacting with faculty, and applying to graduate school. Here, Roberts exposes the secrets of the ivory tower to reveal what motivates professors, where to find loopholes in university bureaucracy, and most importantly, how to get a personalized education. Based on interviews with faculty and cutting-edge educational research, \u003ci\u003eThe Thinking Student's Guide to College\u003c\/i\u003e is a necessary handbook for students striving to excel academically, creatively, and personally during their undergraduate years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAndrew Roberts\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eis assistant professor of political science at Northwestern University and fellow at the Institute for Policy Research.
