A               recent               news               article               stated               that               the               average               tuition               for               a               private               college               over               the               course               of               four               years               amounts               to               about               $225,000.

For               a               public               college               it's               about               $108,000               for               four               years.

These               figures               include               the               miscellaneous               fees               that               many               universities               charge               all               students.

That's               a               lot               of               money               that               students               and               their               parents               are               forking               over               for               tuition.

Considering               the               amount               of               money               that's               being               paid               to               many               universities,               how               much               of               a               role               should               students               have               in               deciding               how               their               college               is               run               and               what               policies               are               put               into               place?

In               my               experience,               I               have               discovered               that               there               are               a               couple               different               kinds               of               colleges.

There               are               the               obvious               differences               such               as               public               vs.

private,               urban               vs.

rural,               and               big               vs.

small.

However,               to               my               thinking,               there               is               a               more               important               distinction.

Colleges               that               care               about               students               vs.

colleges               that               care               about               numbers.

Every               single               college               claims               to               care               about               it's               students               and               very               few               will               admit               to               caring               about               numbers.

The               numbers               I'm               speaking               about               are               usually               rankings               in               publications               like               U.S.

News               and               World               Report.

There               are               several               ways               that               a               focus               on               numbers               can               affect               a               school's               policies               including               course               requirements               and               how               money               is               distributed               within               the               university.
               Let's               consider               coursework.

How               much               of               a               say               should               students               have               in               determining               their               course               work?

College               is               supposed               to               be               a               time               when               students               explore               different               areas               of               interest               and               figure               out               what               they               really               want               to               do.

However,               most               universities               want               their               students               to               graduate               with               a               directed               major               and               graduate               with               well-rounded               knowledge.

This               can               lead               to               a               serious               conflict               of               interest.

Students               want               to               study               what               they               want               to               study               and               colleges               want               them               to               study               in               a               particular               area               with               a               particular               curriculum.

Many               times               this               curriculum               is               prescribed               by               accreditation               agencies               and               if               colleges               don't               stick               to               that               curriculum               they               can               lose               their               accreditation               and               thus               lose               their               reputation.

However,               at               what               point               does               a               prescribed               curriculum               become               detrimental               to               a               student's               education               rather               than               beneficial?
               Some               other               concerns               that               unversities               have               include               students               that               create               their               own               curriculum               so               that               they               take               only               very               easy               courses               and               graduate               with               artificially               inflated               GPAs.

I               would               argue               that               any               student               who               does               this,               is               hurting               only               themselves               and               stiffly               prescribed               curriculums               that               are               used               to               combat               this               only               hurt               students               who               wish               to               learn               as               much               as               they               can               during               the               four               short               years               they               are               in               college.
               What               about               how               money               is               allocated               within               the               university?

Many               universities               have               student               run               budget               committees               that               allocate               money               to               specific               student               organizations.

But               students               have               no               control               over               whether               money               goes               towards               athletics,               development,               or               academics.

Of               course,               many               times               this               does               not               affect               students               directly               unless               the               money               is               obviously               mis-managed               and               parts               of               the               school               are               suffering               because               of               it.

Sadly,               there               is               no               way               to               determine               if               money               is               being               managed               appropriately               because               students               simply               do               not               have               access               to               that               kind               of               information               and               will               not               unless               something               is               drastically               wrong.

Of               course,
               Of               course,               colleges               are               very               diverse               locations               and               giving               students               access               to               this               kind               of               financial               information               would               result               in               huge               clashes               of               interest               between               students               who               believe               their               department               should               receive               more               money.

So               perhaps               in               this               circumstance               it               is               best               to               have               objective               decision-makers.
               In               conclusion,               it               seems               to               me               that               students               should               have               the               most               say               in               issues               that               involve               their               direct               specific               education               and               less               say               in               the               whole               of               the               university.

While               educators               may               believe               they               know               what's               best               for               the               general               population               of               a               specific               major...

there               is               no               way               for               them               to               asess               each               students               situation               individually               and               so               that               should               be               left               to               the               student               and               perhaps               a               faculty               advisor               who               understands               the               university               and               the               student               very               well.
