Sunday the New York Times devoted its entire magazine to articles about college, colleges and the future of higher education. You can find the whole collection here. The articles I found most interesting:
Don't Worry, Be Students: "To an astonishing degree, recent graduates surveyed by The New York Times Poll said that they are satisfied with the choices they made about where to go to college and with the educations they received. That seems to hold true whether they went to big schools or small schools, costly private colleges or somewhat more affordable public universities, their first-choice school or their fourth."
No Graduate Left Behind: "The self-accountability of our system of higher education is grounded in the optional nature of college attendance. But college isn’t really optional any longer. The economic value of higher education, on both the individual and the national levels, has given the public a stake in outcomes not so different from the stake it has in the public schools."
