No doubt Allan Bloom's Closing of the American Mind gives a much better assessment of academia and students than I ever could.

Paraphrasing, "the only single belief that incoming freshman have in common is the belief that there is no such thing as objective truth." I agree with him. Unfortunately, the rest of the book wasn't as good as the opening line.
