It’s a larger “fraud” than the mortage crises. At least there are 2x4’s and foundations left from the housing disaster, vs, brain dead illiterate zombies with the right to vote.
Agree. The “college experience” is the biggest myth perpetuated on American parents to date. I attended college in the 70”s, but commuted from home. Today, commuting to college is a sure sign of “loser”. The party scene is the main attraction for roughly 80% of students. Just look at the binge drinking by both men and women as an example. It’s out of control for most, and evidence of this is the fact that colleges and universities today are the strongest advocates in favor of lowering the drinking age. Why? Not because they want to be fair to the students who may be going off to war, or buying a home. No, it’s simply because they cannot control or enforce their own drinking policies. They know it, and want to wash their hands of being responsible. They also know that if they did enforce the drinking policy, they would have no students. Call me nuts, but I have three in college right now, and I defy anyone to tell me otherwise. That, combined with the loony leftist professors who abound, is enough proof for me. Our colleges and universities are not as interested in educating as they are in being money making businesses.
