Project 2025 & BBB ACT & layoffs & RFK Jr's crap will all affect colleges.


What the hell are you babbling on about? Those are the reasons why the "College and University Discussion" board on DCUM is so toxic? Maybe it's because all of the liberal moms who frequent this board are obnoxious hypocrites, anxious strivers who are desperate for their kids to be 1 percenters.

Because everyone is eying on ivies, the privileged, FGLI, URM, the tech immigrants.

College admissions are highly political, Constitution, Supreme Court rulings, Executive Orders.

Because people are so weird about college. I don't get it. There are plenty of good options out there, and what you put into it matters more than rankings that are often based on imprecise methodologies and questionable data.
