[quote=Anonymous]Cutthroat or competition against oneself to do better each time and to grow ? Competiton is a major explanation for what makes a great university and college - because the students have high expectations for themselves. Competition does not need to be cutthroat at all. It means working harder each time and to learn from one's mistakes and successes; and to learn from fellow students. However, cutthroat is not a dirty word. That too provides important training and discipline. it crucially prepares a student for the real world. Very valuable experience and training in how to handle competition and 'cutthroat behavior'. Just as anyone working in the Washington and London political and economic circuits. Further, with tuition sky-high, the pressure on students is enormous; they can't be blamed. My experience was that most students were decent and many were very helpful, indeed. [/quote]
