[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you haven't been through an American University, you really can't judge.

I was hoping your post would talk about how they raise tuition to cover gyms, fancy dorms and amenities. I have only good things to say about the education I received though. [/quote]

My children have and I have come to this conclusion having had conversations with them. So much money goes into "general ed" classes such as P.E. or Public Speaking 101. And you are correct, the students do NOt need fancy dormitories or state of the art laundry facilities or Gourmet cafeteria food. Excess at its worst.

So you picked one overpriced private college designed for kids from rich families and decided that this represents every university in the country. I went to a state school and never had to take a public speaking class. Every semester I took at least one math class and one science class and sometimes more than one class of each. Yes, I had to take general education classes such as English, humanities, and social sciences. I would never have chosen those classes for myself but the requirements are there so we can broaden our views of the world. That is one of the many reasons we go to college.[/quote]
