You can’t generalize one particular college to each and every college in the US. We still produce highest number of MBA’s in the world
Break down of the family structure in the homes. Now it is about drugs, sex, and ’self”. Pretty sad.
accutally its been like that forever
the freemasons were the first havard fraturnity
but i am not doing it for that i am going for an education mind you
College is more accessible now and more people are attending than did in the past. Combine that with the fact that our society has changed as a whole and there’s your answer.
When going to college became the norm, and everyone wanted to get in, regardless of grades, abilities, and professional desires. Now days, besides employers, who cares if you go to college?
well yeah, both of those college lives exist, however it’s who you befriend and hang out with that will shape whether it’s a party life or real college schooling..
you can choose to go to parties, or persure your career seriously.. it all depends on yourself
good luck! :]]
While the less than desirable components that you mention are certainly a portion of the college life perhaps the general decline of America has lent an air of foreboding to the outcome of a lengthy and involved process that offers no guarantees. Why become a Petroleum engineer, for example.
I wouldn’t say that is what college is all about now. There are many people out there working one to three jobs on top of going to school full time just due to cuts in financial aid, just to be able to afford school and a lot of the out of wedlock babies, stds, and getting drunk is happening in generations young than those college aged as well. Lots of middle and high school aged mothers out there now!
Because if you aren’t going to be an engineer, doctor, lawyer, pharmacist, etc. it’s a waste of time! Most kids just go because society says to be wealthy and educated, you need to go to college. Either that, or their parents will stop supporting them.
I know because I’m majoring in a phony liberal-arts degree, and I’m only going because my mom, high school advisers, family, will look down on me if I don’t!
That’s why we fool around. We don’t know what we want to do with ourselves.
Uh… where have you been for the last 40 years or so? College has been one big orgy for a LONG time now.
Look… many kids go to college and get caught up in the partying, and others who are more ambitious hit the books and become pillars of our society. Think of it as a sort of “social darwinism,” in that the partiers will struggle to find jobs while the minority who take it seriously go on to be executives, attorneys, or doctors. We can’t ALL be successful.
I am pretty sure a large gathering of 18-22 year olds has looked this way throughout human history.
