And can students get more out of college without paying  higher tuition? Daniel Chambliss and Christopher Takacs conclude that  the limited resources of colleges and students need not diminish the  undergraduate experience. \u003ci\u003eHow College Works\u003c\/i\u003e reveals the  surprisingly decisive role that personal relationships play in  determining a student's collegiate success, and puts forward a set of  small, inexpensive interventions that yield substantial improvements in  educational outcomes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“The book shares the narrative of the student experience, what \u003ci\u003ehappens \u003c\/i\u003eto  students as they move through their educations, all the way from  arrival to graduation. This is an important distinction. [Chambliss and  Takacs] do not try to measure what students have learned, but what it is  like to live through college, and what those experiences mean both  during the time at school, as well as going forward.”\u003cbr\u003e—John Warner, \u003ci\u003eInside Higher Ed\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003eDaniel F.
