Believe me, I am sympathetic to the problems women face in this country and on campus. There is a conversation to be had about the prevalence of sexual assault on college campuses as well as other issues unique to women of which men will not have to face in their lives. However, to point to those issues and declare unequivocally…

This competitive education system is detrimental as it discourages students who does worse than their peers. This causes some to turn into unethical ways to achieve good results and also become more selfish…

At the close of high school we have a very big decision to make. There are endless options and directions we can take. We can go to college, join the marines, start a trade, or, for some, simply find an entry level job. Some of us may even be too young to legally watch a rated R movie; yet we are told to make a life decision. Many of us will struggle deciding on our life plan. For me, I have always been a studious person with big college plans. I never thought I had to worry about what to do…

With many graduates heading into certain fields, such as pharmacy, less jobs are open—or so it seems. Aiming his argument towards the general public, Eduardo Porter, author of Unemployment Is So 2009: Labor Shortage Gives Workers an Edge, goes against this claim, affirming that the United States is facing a shortage in the labor force,…

“Our Graduates are Rubes”, written by Tom Nichols, introduces the idea that colleges are failing in both their responsibilities to educate and establish a foundation of civic responsibilities. Nichols believes this comes as a result of four specific problems in the college system today: “the pampering of students as customers, the proliferation of faux “universities,” grade inflation, and the power reversal” (B3).

These two-year colleges plainly offer students the ability to let go of the academic regulations and restrictions and do what they are fond…
