WHERE YOU GO IS NOT WHO YOU’LL BE

By Frank Bruni. College is what you make of it, claims this powerful guide that shows how all kinds of colleges—not just the most elite—can serve as springboards to extraordinary success. Through statistics, surveys, and compelling anecdotes, Bruni questions the frenzied college admissions process and demonstrates that what matters in the end are a student’s efforts in and out of the classroom. Grades 10 and up. Index. Suggested readings. Grand Central. 262 pages. Revised edition. ©2016.

“Written in a lively style but carrying a wallop, this is a book that family and educators cannot afford to overlook as they try to navigate the treacherous waters of college admissions.”
