Description
American college students inhabit a culture with its own unique traditions and folklore. Simon J. Bronner explores how these customs shape American campus life and the values of those who experience it. From small, close-knit colleges to large, sprawling universities, campus traditions have evolved over time. Despite changes in size and scope, students continue to draw on these traditions as a way to connect with one another and find their place within the university community. Bronner examines how historical shifts in campus culture have influenced the development of these traditions. At its heart, campus folklore is about more than just fun and games - it's also a way for students to navigate the challenges of higher education and the transition from adolescence to adulthood.
