[quote=Anonymous]I have had three graduate from college, so I picked the common issues. Academically, how prepared they were. Not that the classes were easy, but they seemed to be able to grasp what they needed to do to get a good grade. How to prepare, how to study, etc. How sheltered they were. My kids attended HS where most of the kids were similar to them - similar SES, similar childhoods, etc. For all of them, college was the first time that they were exposed to the extremes from a diversity standpoint (not just racial, but SES, political). That was really true with the oldest who attended a SLAC in a predominantly blue collar town in the red portion of a state.[/quote]
