Overview
Letʹs stop for a moment at this halfway point in our narrative. Until now we’ve looked at students’ experiences, and we’ve seen that apparently small factors or even chance can sometimes lead to very important outcomes; that apparently minor decisions can often have major results; and that teachers matter, not only by inspiring students but sometimes, unfortunately, by discouraging them as well. We’ve also seen that what students want is sometimes not what they actually need, even to satisfy their own immediate wishes: unattractive “high-contact” dorms can help to produce the friendships that students most require for success in college.
