But as Janice M. McCabe shows in this illuminating study, there is one crucial factor determining a student's academic success that most of us tend to overlook: who they hang out with. Surveying a range of different kinds of college friendships, Connecting in College details the fascinatingly complex ways students' social and academic lives intertwine and how students attempt to balance the two in their pursuit of straight As, good times, or both. As McCabe and the students she talks to show, the friendships we forge in college are deeply meaningful, more meaningful than we often give them credit for. They can also vary widely. Some students have only one tight-knit group, others move between several, and still others seem to meet someone new every day. Some students separate their social and academic lives, while others rely on friendships to help them do better in their coursework. McCabe explores how these dynamics lead to different outcomes and how they both influence and are influenced by larger factors such as social and racial inequality. She then looks toward the future and how college friendships affect early adulthood, ultimately drawing her findings into a set of concrete solutions to improve student experiences and better guarantee success in college and beyond. 588 0 Online resource; title from PDF title page (EBSCO, viewed October 17, 2016). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 College students|xSocial networks|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh88005973|zUnited States.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n78095330-781 650 7 College students|xSocial networks.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/868053 650 7 EDUCATION|xHigher.|2bisacsh 651 7 United States.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204155 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aMcCabe, Janice M.|tConnecting in College : How Friendship Networks Matter for Academic and Social Success.|dChicago : University of Chicago Press, ©2016 |z9780226409498 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1334024|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
