The Years That Matter Most: How College Makes or Breaks Us by Paul Tough

4.5

As an aspiring higher education professional, this book was an informative, engaging, and thought-provoking read. I learned a lot about how many college applicants suffer (including myself) because of some of the flawed systems at the core of the college admissions process (the history on the ACT/SAT was especially fascinating). Knowledge is power and if we understand the problems and where they came from, (and care enough about the students), then maybe we can improve higher education for future generations.
