Bongfiglio, Robert A. “College: A Time of Wonder.” About Campus May-June 2006: 27-
29. 11 March. 2011. Print.
In this article Robert Bonfiglio strives to instill the notion of a right balance of how the campus atmosphere should be viewed. From his discourse, we understand that the wrong perspective based on two principal aspects, influences the way programs for first year students are structured. The first facet is that college was viewed as being for elites mainly. The second is about a magnified fear that is associated with college life especially as safety issues are concerned. Though Bongfiglio carefully stresses that he does not wish to under look the ever present tendency for danger that might be on college campuses, he particularly emphasis that it should not be the sole focus. He therefore suggests that campus and university should be viewed as a place of intellectual growth and the wonderful experiences that go with it, such as meeting other people and discovering one’s self. For him, these are so important and should not be tempered with no matter the ploy.
