Schools show new students the ropes - PittsburghLIVE.com

Seton Hill University in Greensburg uses reading material as a way for freshmen to get together at the beginning of the year. The university gives a free book to every student and have a discussion on it early in the first semester.

"It's a good bonding experience, and a great introduction to the sort of literate college life we hope to foster at Seton Hill," said Dr. Michael Arnzen, an English instructor at Seton Hill.

The books are distributed to the students during orientation sessions.

I am a senior this year and i remember the book our freshman class was given over the summer to read. It was about Erik Weihenmayer and his book is titled "Touch the Top of the World". He is a blind man who climbed Mt. Everest. I am glad the school made us read that book. It was a very touching story and it helped us freshman students see that we can achieve anything. It was also nice when we came together as a class to discuss the novel. It really was a good experience.
