An Open Letter to a College Freshman | Philosophical Fragments.
This is the advice I wish I had read and taken as a freshman in college. After 30 years of involvement with campus ministry (I worked with InterVarsity 14 years, my wife still works with IV), I’ve seen a lot of people who needed to heed this type of guidance, but tragically didn’t. My sons will go to college in 2 and 4 years. I hope and pray that they internalize this message. (No, Tim and I didn’t overlap at Stanford. He’s younger than me.)
The best gem: “Seek mentors, not merely teachers.”
What advice would you give a freshman?
