In this fall of 2024, around 16 million students will be enrolled in American colleges and universities. That’s roughly the equivalent of the combined populations of our nation’s five largest cities—New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, and Phoenix.
The newcomers in this grand parade of undergraduates may arrive on campus wondering whether they’re prepared for the rigors of college academics. Veterans of the classroom may return to their studies, asking themselves how to get the greatest good from their college experience.
