Is there such a thing as a "bad" college?

<p>A few thoughts…1

  1. I like state schools that take just about anybody. There are a lot of kids who screw up in various ways in high school but really bloom eventually. I’ve known a few.
  2. I would like to see something - maybe just a shift to two year degrees - for those who really have NO interest in a liberal arts education but want to acquire technical skills for a job. I’d rather let them skip the usual sort of core requirements than just clog up the works and spent a lot of money (particularly these days) for a product they don’t want.
  3. Bad …hmmm…schools that in some way deceive their students - and that definitely includes those that let foolish kids graduate with $100,000 in debt and a degree that won’t lead anywhere and those that bring in unprepared athletes then dump then as soon as they aren’t stars on the field.</p>
