Decent Essays
The idea of college and consumerism coming together, isn’t a topic that higher education wants to combine but ultimately, it does. I agree with Edmundson to the idea that colleges and universities across the nation are trying to promote and sell themselves to high school junior and seniors." The freshman-to-be see's photos of well- appointed dorm rooms; of elaborate phys-ed facilities; of fine dinning rooms; of expertly kept sports fields; of orchestra..." Edmundson points out that other colleges around the nation are starting to focus more on quantity less than quality-not to say that these universities don’t have high standards when it comes to academics. Also Edmundson states that, "Universities need to attract the best students in order

    As a high school student, I all too frequently find myself bombarded with emails and postcards detailing the exuberant life of a college campus. Within the last week, I have received an email from Sarah Lawrence College that described their welcoming community and their high rating among the LGBT community, an email from University of Richmond that details their very own internship program, and an email from Soka University that proclaimed their devotion to diversity in all things. They want to sell me their college experience, not a college education. Edmundson’s article is correct in it argument that University education is tainted by consumerism. College has become a playtoy for the rich and smart students that have freely given up the opportunity to learn and excel.…

    In conclusion, many of the points made in Caroline Bird’s article “College is a Waste of Time and Money” can be characterized as logical fallacies and therefore don’t hold much weight. This is not to say college is without its own faults, with its rising cost being more of a burden for some. But Bird’s article cannot even be classified as an input into the conversation, using misinformation to poor arguments in order to put a blanket of rage over the reader to seemingly trying to create the next sensation…

    In the article, “College is a waste of time” by Dale Stephens, Dale gives his persuasive opinions on why college is a waste of time by giving out evidences of how college isn’t fully beneficial and describing people who are successful today without a college degree. Dale describes college as “rewarding conformity, regurgitation, and theory”, instead of, “rewarding independence, learning, and application”.
