Kelly DeLong records the lives of four freshman students at a historically black college and university, and I know of no other scholar who has shown interest in the subject and covered it with such grace and compassion. Although he documents their stresses and strains, unpredictable and fun moments, DeLong is also instructive: freshman students should understand the intellectual
demands of college, learn from each other, and remain focused.
James A. Hefner, former president of Tennessee State University and Jackson State University

A great gift of someone heading off to college for the first time. DeLong follows volunteer students that report to him throughout their first and second semester as freshman in college. Learn about those students that desperately want to get a college education, but because of financial or family issues struggle to maintain high grades or even remain in college at all. DeLong also includes interviews from college staff who give their insights on how to be successful and avoid some of the common pitfalls freshman encounter. Easy to read and very enlightening. Well done!

Students will find the book beneficial because it outlines the steps they should take in order to be successful in college; teachers will find the book invaluable because it can help them create strategies to improve student-success. Although worth reading for the aforementioned reasons, the book is beneficial for another reason: it's intimacy--if that makes sense--allows teachers to know certain things about students' private lives. Knowledge about student's extra-curricular activities are important insofar as it can help teaches, help students, be successful.

Readers will root for the students here, even as they watch their mistakes and missteps. Clearly, the author is invested in their value and success as well. The book's multifaceted approach blends narrative with case-study for a rich and vibrant result. No other book does what this one has accomplished. Every student beginning college at an HBCU (or at any college, for that matter) should be reading this book and learning its lessons. It would be a wonderful tool for a first year experience course.
