[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You assume going to college is all about passing along certain information. A liberal arts education emphasized skills like creativity and critical thinking, necessary in any field and walk of life.[/quote]

You assume "creativity and critical thinking" can only be learned in college. Bzzzzzzzzzzzzt, wrong.

If anything, these days college hinders the development of creativity and critical thinking.[/quote]

This is OP.  I did not post the above, but the general consensus seems to be: college is for sexual experimentation, drinking, and to get a job.  Unless you want to be professor, then by all means get into a top school.

Why do parents need to pay $$$ for kids to sleep around and drink, can't they do that, if they must, while immmersed in more productive ventures?  And now, even the job thing is coming into question.[/quote]
I agree. Few kids are able to really survive the lion's den that college campuses have become. The party culture has gone mainstream. Smarter parents will help pay for 'higher' education closer to home.[/quote]
