An NPR Favorite Book of the Year
"Breaks new ground on social and educational questions of great import."--Washington Post "An essential work, humane and candid, that challenges and expands our understanding of the lives of contemporary college students."
--Paul Tough, author of Helping Children Succeed "Eye-opening...Brings home the pain and reality of on-campus poverty and puts the blame squarely on elite institutions."
--Washington Post "Jack's investigation redirects attention from the matter of access to the matter of inclusion...His book challenges universities to support the diversity they indulge in advertising."
--New Yorker The Ivy League looks different than it used to. College presidents and deans of admission have opened their doors--and their coffers--to support a more diverse student body. But is it enough just to admit these students? In this bracing expos , Anthony Jack shows that many students' struggles continue long after they've settled in their dorms. Admission, they quickly learn, is not the same as acceptance. This powerfully argued book documents how university policies and campus culture can exacerbate preexisting inequalities and reveals why some students are harder hit than others.

10/10 Would Buy Again
Color: 03- Tie Dye Black, Size: King (108" X 90")
This is absolutely the softest blanket I have ever purchased. It fits perfectly and looks amazing. The material is soft and comfortable. It's easy to clean and it's so warm. The faux fur is so soft and plush. Great quality. Great price.

The ultimate "cozy" blanket—thick, soft, and incredibly warm
Color: 03- Tie Dye Black, Size: Throw (50" X 60")
his Bedsure blanket is the definition of comfort. One side features a velvety smooth faux fur while the other is a thick, plush Sherpa fleece. It’s significantly heavier than a standard throw, making it perfect for cold nights. The black color is deep and rich, and I’ve been impressed that it doesn't shed at all, even after several washes. It drapes beautifully over a couch or bed and adds an instant touch of luxury to the room. It’s the perfect size (50"x60") for curling up with a book or a movie.

Buy this now!!!
Color: 15- Teal, Size: King (108" X 90")
This is probably one of my favorite purchases from Amazon. I have washed it at least 10 times so far and it still looks the same as when I bought it. It is so soft and snuggly I love it so much. The color is beautiful the furry side is soft and the bottom side has Sherpa on it which is also soft. It's not super heavy and it keeps me warm and it fits my king size bed perfectly. It is such a good value for the money and the quality of it is amazing do yourself a favor and purchase this you will get the best Sleep Quality of your life I swear. I wish I would have had this years ago I don't know what took me so long to find it I have bought several blankets and ended up throwing them away because I did not like the way they felt. This one will be a keeper.

Soft and comfy!
Color: 06- Beige, Size: Throw (50" X 60")
The material is very soft and thick, but not to the point where it makes me feel hot. The only reason why it hasn't received five stars is because I ordered the twin size thinking it would give me good coverage (and I didn't want to order a bigger size), but it's just an inch or two too small for my body. But it's not a big deal. I love the quality too! You will get your money's worth for sure.
