What are some campus novels written from the perspective of students? I often find these novels to be the product of some 40yo frustrated English professor. I've read The Secret History and Harvard Square, but would like more of it.

ugh. I can't imagine actually getting into the "I'm a university student and part of the university community" mindset. Fuck that gay shit. Unless you are a grad student or professor it would be incredibly trite and a sign of upper middle class softness.
