What a Professor Learned as an Undercover Freshman. (via Gully Brook Press) I'm not sure what I would have felt as an undergrad if there was somebody around studying me. Weirded out, probably. For one thing, I don't think there's anything sociologically interesting about college kids. (I was an undergrad a couple years ago and I didn't think I was all that interesting.) I mean sure--culture differs from school to school--but basically they're just a bunch of post-adolescent kids who are semi-on-their-own for the first time in their lives. Just think of the triple mantra: sleep, study, or socialize--pick two. And that's it in a nutshell.
