{"product_id":"my-freshman-year-isbn-9780143037477","title":"My Freshman Year","description":"After fifteen years of teaching anthropology at a large university, Rebekah Nathan had become baffled by her own students. Their strange behavior—eating meals at their desks, not completing reading assignments, remaining silent through class discussions—made her feel as if she were dealing with a completely foreign culture. So Nathan decided to do what anthropologists do when confused by a different culture: Go live with them. She enrolled as a freshman, moved into the dorm, ate in the dining hall, and took a full load of courses. And she came to understand that being a student is a pretty difficult job, too. Her discoveries about contemporary undergraduate culture are surprising and her observations are invaluable, making \u003cb\u003eMy Freshman Year\u003c\/b\u003e essential reading for students, parents, faculty, and anyone interested in educational policy.\"It's anthropology at its best: accessible, illuminating, contextual.\" —\u003cb\u003eThe Christian Science Monitor\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"\u003cb\u003eMy Freshman Year\u003c\/b\u003e... is an insightful, riveting look at college life and American values.\" —\u003cb\u003eThe Boston Globe\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eRebekah Nathan\u003c\/b\u003e is a pseudonym for Cathy Small.
