<p>Hmmmmmm… interesting…</p>

<p>short answer: they are providing a better service</p>

<p>The sooner everyone realizes this the better: Colleges are businesses.</p>

<p>They compete with each other for top students. More top students means more presitge. More presitge means more applicantions. More applications means more top students.</p>

<p>This cycle spirals. More top students also means more alumni donation money in the future. bigger alumni networks to help younger top students, and so on.</p>

<p>Ever think about how absurd it is that colleges advertise? It’s a school, you shouldn’t need to advertise! Colleges remind me of clothes. There are brand names that are considered stylish, and on the other hand you have generic wal-mart brands. Both sets of clothes will cover you and do the job, but having nice clothes gives you a better image.</p>

<p>“Oh well, more jobs for Americans!”</p>
