Things to Do at College

According to David Brooks (sorry no link—behind the Times Select wall):

• Read Reinhold Niebuhr.
  
• Read Plato's "Gorgias."
  
• Take a course on ancient Greece.
  
• Learn a foreign language.
  
• Spend a year abroad.
  
• Take a course in neuroscience.
  
• Take statistics.
  
• Forget about your career for once in your life.
  
• Never be tempted to read "Bobos in Paradise"

Actually, I added that last one.

I would also add, read Lucky Jim, by Kingsley Amis—there is no better time to do so than in college, and it is simply the funniest thing in print, ever.
