by Goldrick-Rab, Sara Year Published: 2016Call Number: 978.3 GOL
If you are a young person, and you work hard enough, you can get a college degree and set yourself on the path to a good life, right?

Drawing on an unprecedented study of 3,000 young adults who entered public colleges and universities in Wisconsin in 2008 with the support of federal aid and Pell Grants, Goldrick-Rab reveals the devastating effect of these shortfalls.Book of Majors 2017
