Is the system designed just to protect the privileged and leave everyone else behind? Or can a college education today provide real opportunity to young Americans seeking to improve their station in life? The Years That Matter Most tells the stories of students trying to find their way, with hope, joy, and frustration, through the application process and into college. Drawing on new research, the book reveals how the landscape of higher education has shifted in recent decades and exposes the hidden truths of how the system works and whom it works for. And it introduces us to the people who really make higher education go: admissions directors trying to balance the class and balance the budget, College Board officials scrambling to defend the SAT in the face of mounting evidence that it favors the wealthy, researchers working to unlock the mysteries of the college-student brain, and educators trying to transform potential dropouts into successful graduates. With insight, humor, and passion, Paul Tough takes readers on a journey from Ivy League seminar rooms to community college welding shops, from giant public flagship universities to tiny experimental storefront colleges. Whether you are facing your own decision about college or simply care about the American promise of social mobility, The Years That Matter Most will change the way you think--not just about higher education, but about the nation itself."--Provided by publisher. 000925427 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000925427 650_0 $$aUniversities and colleges$$xAdmission$$xSocial aspects. 000925427 650_0 $$aEducational equalization. 000925427 650_0 $$aCollege student orientation. 000925427 650_0 $$aCollege students$$xSocial conditions. 000925427 650_0 $$aCollege students$$xAttitudes. 000925427 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aTough, Paul.$$tYears that matter most.$$dBoston : Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2019$$z9780544944480$$w(DLC) 2019013123$$w(OCoLC)1080247689 000925427 8520_ $$bcoll 000925427 85280 $$bebk$$hEBSCOhost 000925427 85640 $$3eBooks on EBSCOhost$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=1985049$$zOnline Access 000925427 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:925427$$pGLOBAL_SET 000925427 980__ $$aEBOOK 000925427 980__ $$aBIB 000925427 982__ $$aEbook 000925427 983__ $$aOnline 000925427 994__ $$a92$$bISE
