Students: Changing Roles, Changing Lives

Looks at changes not just in the academic role of British college students, but in their lives, activities, and attitudes since the activism of the 1960s and 1970s. Drawing on interviews with students and staff, discusses such matters as residence, student unions, clubs and societies, the lives of different constituencies of students, representation, leisure, hardship, and part-time employment. Also draws comparisons with students in the US. Distributed by Taylor & Francis. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
