[quote=Anonymous]Foreign countries have far fewer colleges, they are all public and they are all either large or very large schools. The US would have to nationalize and merge its colleges…perhaps adopt the model of some countries where you have top technical colleges, top humanities colleges, etc. You can’t create this nirvana without fundamentally changing our system of higher ed. Another note…Canadian colleges take the approach of easier to get in but harder to stay. The acceptance rates of their top schools aren’t that low and a school like Toronto is 80,000 students. Their approach is let lots of kids in and then see who makes it…I bet some with just OK stats end up doing well and high stats kids can’t handle it and drop out.[/quote]
