Book excerpt: "Astin presents a completely new and expanded study of how students change and develop in college -- and reveals how colleges can enhance that development. Based on a study of more than 20,000 students, 25,000 faculty members, and 200 institutions, the book shows how academic programs, faculty, student peer groups, and other variables affect students' college experiences, and how these factors can shape students' personalities and behavior; values and beliefs; and academic, cognitive, and career development."--Page 4 of cover
