Relationship Between College Experiences And And Transition To Adulthood

Aspiring Adults Adrift by Richard Arum and Josipa Roksa

Arum and Roksa are back. Their new book, Aspiring Adults Adrift—a follow up to their 2011 landmark study of undergraduates’ learning, socialization, and study habits, Academically Adrift—follows the same cohort through the rest of their college careers and into the working world. Built on interviews and detailed surveys of almost 1,000 recent college graduates from a diverse range of colleges and universities, they reveal a generation facing a difficult transition to adulthood. Arum and Roksa not only map out the current state of a generation too often adrift, but also enable us to examine the relationship between college experiences and tentative transitions to adulthood.
