A free university education is a necessity in any advanced, progressive civilization, I don't know why it hasn't been implemented in America yet.
There is no need for college presidents in medium-sized public universities to be given a new car and 8 assistants. You don't need to support 800 student organizations and all of their functions. You don't need to create a whole department to monitor fraternities. And most of all you don't need to build dormitories to house out-of-state kids because it costs money and they're stupid in the first place for wanting to pay out-of-state tuition. Also, you don't need so many extra-curricular and "spirit" events for grown azz people about to become the head of their family, WTF.
UK and Ozzie brahs here think the American college is amazing, well its not. It burns you out after 2 years and the distractions only force thousands of kids out of school before their first year is over and sets post-college social expectations way too high. Fuking useless and puts priority out of place. College students don't need all of the distractions their school puts out there.
I think if all of those useless programs were cut out and schools emphasized that students stay at home for their education instead of paying massive amounts of money to live in a crap dorm and pay $400/month for dining center food, universities would be next to free. One thing I learned about American schools is that they're just massive malls with books, its a joke. I think America should start the Chinese-style bare bones university system, none of that play shid, and you can start graduating 30 mil engineers annually like they do.
American brahs discuss.

It does all seem a little excessive when other western nations graduates are just as competeitive internationally and do not go through the same rigours.
Guess it has to do with the Bigger and better than everyone else, not so much of a bad thing if your exceptional but I feel it would alienate the mediocre.
If It was such an issue though I feel a large enough body would exist to lobby for it's change like everything else.Life is a tragedy for those who feel, and a comedy for those who think.

I just think its ridiculous that 80% of tuition costs go to maintaining non-essential functions of the university. Just absolutely ridiculous.
University in America would be cheaper and easier to maintain than high schools if the system treated college with seriousness and maturity. Its hard to take university life seriously when there's the whole experimentation culture abound and the school encouraging it. Why does there even have to be a social aspect attached to college in America? Cut the crap programs out and college will virtually be free. Its strange that this hasn't been said.

Harvard, Yale and UO Chicago are 1st, 3rd and 7th best in the world with Princeton, MIT and CIT rounding out 8, 9 and 10 you can hate on America for many things but I think for having a poor quality of education is not one.

if you technically did this, it would impact colleges/universities financially, these unis make $500mill(revenue) per annum off tuition+dorms plus all the other garbage. School needs to generate $$ and make profit just like any other business brah. All the dumb people are weeded out first and second yr. People who do graduate are determined to get passed all the distractions and do well in their 4 years.
Schools(uni) keep other big business a float/employed.
School is also another social stage.http://mibbit.com/#bodybuilding.com@chat4all

You're picking a totally different argument. This isn't about quality of universities, its about efficiency. The US has a very inefficient university system.
I understand everything in America is about money, I'm just saying if there was some positive reform that gave power back to the students, then again the limited monopolized economy wouldn't have enough jobs to employ these new professionals.

Simply get rid of everything, go totally bare bones. Without the air of "college spirit" nobody would give a shid about college sports. The guys I know who stayed home for college never paid attention to their school's team.
College sports generates a good deal of income for schools but for most small schools it costs them more to maintain the teams, especially sports like baseball and soccer that don't generate any money on a collegiate level.

You haven't even responded yet to my position I know [I just posted it sorry I typed a huge wall of text --- my bad]
But those schools do more than that! They give fukkin scholarships to people you jerkoff. People that have an athletic ability [dam even for a sport that doesn't make money] and they get an education paid for.
IMO that more than makes up for the cocksucking NFL/NBA wannabees that millions gets wasted on.
Good for those kids. /clapclapclapclapMAGA --- ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ

The general universal University System is actually very efficient if you know how to use it to your advantage. You can be in and out of school in 4 years with financial aid and minimal debt. You just have to be smart and plan it out. All these other unnecessary bull**** like dorms, frats, clubs use is to your advantage.
You can't really change the school system, it employs students and faculties, it employs outside businesses, its generates income and profits, it also improves the overall city(buildings).
I do agree with you that most of it is bull**** and unnecessary and heavily monopolized in excluding certain "things" but all this BS is required to keep the school "economy" going.
I understand what you are saying, i have wondered this myself in my first year. I was like the fck is the point of having this prof read slides off a powerpoint.
Going bare bones would vastly affect the economy because one of the governments largest expenditure is education in the hopes that an individuals return to education is larger than the loan given out.Last edited by tchalldaway; 05-23-2010 at 02:48 AM.

Let's not forget the MILLIONS AND MILLIONS of philanthropic dollars that well-to-do alumni spend every year [yes on stupid sh!t like like sports ---- but sports make money to pay for things like hospitals, buildings, new professors etc etc.] THE GOVT DOES NOT FUND EDUCATION HERE. THEY FUND RESEARCH MOSTLY, AND THEY FUND STUDENTS THROUGH GRANTS. College is private. It is paid for by alumni, students, and a lil' help here and there from the gov't [mostly through R&D, grants, scholarships.] Which will be paid back [with interest....]
Fukk it I'll just point back to my first bolded statement... America is about money. You know this. Uni is ran for profit. Can it be ran better? Yea. Would free education do anything? Idk. Why do all your students come to America every year [your being subjective --- many foreign students come to America and leave, some stay]MAGA --- ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ

So why not more ppl go spend their first 2 years there and then continue in a state college, this way 50% or more of college expense is saved, and that money could be usefull for something else later.
Oh wait i'm gonna get the whole there's no partying in Freshman year or it's a different experience, well most of the guys that say that either don't have a social life so it wont make a difference, besides paying almost 10K/year just so you can go to some parties and f*ck bitches isn't different than paying for sex !Je parle francais, u mad?
