College is so stressful to college students because for some people it is the first time in their lives that they are expected to think for themselves. All throughout high school teachers told everyone what to do, how to do it, how to do it right and when to do it. College does not do that at all and it is hard to change to that lifestyle. It is different to not have a teacher right beside helping, to remind things, and to actually sit down and help when they are needed. As a college student,…

similar. You can’t compare a super expensive car to a very cheap car. That how colleges are rank these days. The author presents the problem very clearly. The problem is that Colleges are rank broadley which make it hard to measure the quality of the education. The system is competitive because it doesn’t compare school among just one dimension. We shouldn’t focus on selectivity but instead focus on efficacy . Gladwell stated that one of the statistic commonly used to evaluate college is…

For the last fours I tried to prepare myself for the inevitable: what comes after high school? I knew that I would go to college, I just did not know what college. I knew I wanted to obtain a bachelor's degree, I just did not know what to major in. I knew being a student athlete would be difficult, I just did not realize how difficult it really is. My entire high school career I heard how stressful, time consuming, and expensive college was but I did not realize how true that was until I got on…

Applying to college as a transfer student is something I never would have thought was a possibility if one we to ask my high school freshman self. That is because I never would have been able to identify the potential positive outcomes that arise from going to a community college and then attempting to transfer out to a four year. Transferring has allowed me to become a much more competitive applicant than I would’ve been as a freshman applicant. In turn this has allowed me to consider more…

A college education is becoming a necessity in today’s society. Students throughout the country are concentrating on their academics and are endeavoring to receive perfect grades all in hopes of taking their education to a new level. However, financing each student’s education has become difficult in today’s economy. Thus, many students, parents, and politicians are pushing for free college tuition to be granted in the near future. I believe free college tuition should be provided because it…

According to Robin Wilson’s article Jennifer M. Holl borrowed money for her education despite being offered a full ride scholarship to the Ohio State University.

College is a big step in life and people should pay to experience it. College offers unique opportunities that can take you to higher places. Students should pay for college because if they don’t pay they will think college is a joke, there might not be enough class and dorm space because of extra student's, and lastly the teachers will be frustrated because there would be too many kids in a small area. Students should pay for college so they take college seriously and not as a joke. If the…

Nearly 40% of working-aged Americans hold a college degree. College tuition has been an ongoing discussion for many years now, while some might say this has no correlation to whether a student is going to complete their education or not, I think it plays a huge role. If free college tuition was an option it would greatly help those who cannot afford college, it’d help motivate students to actually want to go to college, and would help raise the overall IQ of citizens. Friedman in The World is…
