A young man arrives at university and navigates college choice, matriculation, lectures, clubs, and the social rituals of undergraduate life.

Following his freshman uncertainties through later terms, reading parties, termly rhythms, and final exams, it shows how friendships, subscriptions, and habits of study shape a student's balance of work and leisure on the road to graduation.
