of higher education is academics‚ or at least it used to be. In the article Why College Football Should Be Banned written by Buzz Bissinger‚ Bissinger claims that universities today focus more on “the social well-being of students as opposed to the obsession that they are there for the vital and single purpose of learning as much as they can to compete.” (Bissinger 4).

Should College Athletes be Paid? Imagine what would happen if we would pay the college athletes for performing. It would be a disaster because that is all they would do‚ they would only play for the money. Most of the athletes wouldn’t play for the fun of the game‚ or the fame that comes with playing‚ they would just worry about the paycheck that comes with playing.

the topic of the guns on campus. Which being said the question is should colleges and universities allow guns on campus. I believe guns on campus would cause more fear and risk for students‚ not all conceal and carry holders are “law-abiding” citizens‚ and‚ lastly‚ only security guards should carry guns. Therefore‚ colleges and universities should only allow securities to have guns on campus for protection and everyone else should be forbidden. Having guns on campus would not be a very healthy

College is not to be trifled with! Would a college degree matter as much if it were just handed out to people? The answer is no. Here are the reasons why college should cost the U.S. citizen! For years a college degree has been a key to obtaining better jobs and dreams. If everyone in the U.S. had a million dollars would it be worth the same as it is today? So‚ American citizens need to ask themselves “Would a college degree be worth what it is today if everyone had one?” College should not

Why I am in College College is a huge step in a person’s life‚ whether they attend right after high school‚ or waited until they had more motivation. I decided to attend college because I wanted to find who I was and discover what I am capable of. I chose ECTC because it is close to home‚ affordable‚ and small. The advice I had received from my family concerning college was that I should get my required classes “out of the way” while I am still deciding on a career. I am not the first in my family
