John Wiley & Sons 2005 After living in student housing, interviewing students and administrators, and driving around with campus security, Seaman, former Time magazine reporter and trustee at his alma mater, Hamilton College, offers a revealing look at life in the dorms. Seaman spent two years closely examining 12 residential colleges, private and public, with a range of size and geographic locations. He found a college life substantially different from his own experiences of the 1960s: binge drinking and drug abuse, rising suicide rates, casual relationships with students more likely to "hook up" than date, and tensions surrounding race and sexual orientation. Among the schools profiled are Hamilton, Harvard, University of Virginia, Indiana University, and University of Wisconsin at Madison. Seaman's book is not intended as a guide for parents and prospective students to use in choosing a college, but it offers thought-provoking commentary on student affairs, campus discipline, and reward systems for faculty.
