It explores the distinctive customs and communities of students, from their lively friendships and customs to their well-known songs. The book shows how students navigate their social lives through unions, or "Chores," that connect each other to the shared cultural practices and traditions. The book starts by pondering over the true essence of student life with reflections of the author’s own experience. Juxtaposing the stereotype of brutish chaos to its true core, Howitt emphasizes the freedom, intellectual growth, and deep-rooted values that emerge from the university setting.
