[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I keep reading on this forum that college was amazing back in the day.  I look back and I don’t see it that way.  I am still really good friends with one person after 20 years.  I remember college as a time where I slept in, rolled out of bed, went to class if I felt like it, went out, drank, took tests, and had a work study job.  Nothing of that was earth shattering amazing.  I graduated with a B and got a job before my senior year ended in consulting.

Now I read these threads and everyone has this take on how kids aren’t experiencing college as it use to be and it was an amazing time for us back in the day.  Is that really true?  [/quote]

I had rental houses right off campus at UMD for 35 years. Just finished selling the last one. Kids are nowhere near as fun or happy as they were before. Dropped a little every year since 2000ish. The parents are all over everything and the kids are more helpless regarding survival plus have zero sense of adventure / humor / imagination. There are exceptions of course but it used to be the norm. I predict a big change in the whole college organization because it’s become more miserable, less developmental and exponentially more expensive.[/quote]
