These schools serve a purpose. It's up to the students who enroll to decide if it's a good choice for them.

It wouldn't be a problem if the gov would get out of the student loan business. Then, if these colleges gave the students a payment plan they'd be more accountable for turning out employable students.....if they wanted their money back.

Instead, Obama wants the feds to choose the winners and losers in the college game. And what about state colleges and universities who take a percentage of students (and their loan money) knowing full well they aren't qualified for college?

The problem is that too many students go to college. The enabler is the federal gov.

You’re right.

Students should understand that college and uni are what they make of it. Faculty isn’t there to guide and coddle them. It’s not high school.

Our biggest problem is how so many students try to take their high school experiences and attitudes and try to replicate them in college and university life.

So instead of studying and networking, they in fact extend the partying years and basically mess up there because they don’t get it that teachers are no there to motivate them.
