[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Threads like these sum up what's happening in higher ed. Everyone focuses on the superficial crap, so colleges spend major $$$ on capital improvements, the cost of which get passed on to students in the form of tuition increases. The quality of an education is built on the quality of teaching and research - I.e. professors, not landscaped quads, palatial dorms, and rec centers. [/quote] Well, yes, but I don't hear a lot about the drastic drop in educational caliber of Penn, Johns Hopkins, etc. People are consodering these schools bc of the education, but you still have to have a quality of life. I would certainly rather be somewhere that is beautiful and aesthetically driven than somewhere dark, outdated and underdeveloped if i were working and studying as hard as you have to be in these high level schools. [/quote] +1 Aesthetics/environment are important. But no one needs palatial dorms. [/quote]
