Universities and Colleges: A Very Short Introduction by David Palfreyman, Paul Temple

2.0

Some interesting aspects but all too often this felt a little like a Very Short Introduction to Oxford University rather than universities as a whole. And the discussion of students themselves seemed unfortunately to be faintly contemptuous: students today being more concerned about alcohol and the unfairness of fees rather than making the world a better place as apparently was their only motivation back the halcyon days of the 1960s. Disappointing.
