From the Paper
"College life presents many challenges for incoming students. Academically, many students find college to be much more difficult than high school. Students are concerned with not only their academic success at college, but their social and emotional adjustment as well. I felt really concerned if I would fit in with the crowd or not. Then another pressure was that I was able to make college on a scholarship and had to maintain my grades if I hoped to be given another scholarship for further studies. This paper projects the hypothesis that Experiences and challenges of college are likely to change students. College life has an impact on every student in some way. One of the major assumptions of faculty and parents towards students is that they are thought of as irresponsible and immature. The life becomes so hectic at times that every student faces stress at one time or another. Time management is one of the things that a student needs to learn in order to survive in college. "

Abstract
This review offers an analysis of Caroline Bird?s ?The Case Against College?. It explores Bird?s major arguments against a college education, where she discusses that it is both a waste of financial resources and does not provide an adequate return of investment. The writer disputes Bird?s arguments by offering a critique of her research methodology. The review concludes that although an interesting book, it is ultimately flawed.
From the Paper
"She suggests that students and parents who see college as a status symbol or as evidence of being a ?well rounded? individual should seriously reconsider a college education. She sees college as a huge waste of financial resources, and argues that students are often neither intellectually or emotionally richer for the experience. Given that the text was written over 25 years ago, some issues are longer current, and monetary figures are inaccurate. However, many of the issues raised in the articles remain valid to this day."

Abstract
This paper discusses the issue of whether college athletes should be paid to play their sports. Included in this paper are interviews from numerous college athletes. The paper contends that college athletes should not be paid to play their respective sport for the simple reason that their current incentive package is more than enough payment for the job that they do. Scholarships, housing, plus the potential income that comes with a college degree are more than adequate payment for college athletes.
From the Paper
"It seems that with every new year comes a plethora of new hot topics which overrun the news and dominate the print media. This year being no different, college athletes have become the target of many an ambitious sports analyst and have become the object of affection for numbers of respected penmen. With the recent explosion in the popularity of intercollegiate athletics, the question is being raised over whether or not the actual athletes who participate in these high stakes contests should receive a piece of the profit. High revenue athletes at the college level receive a scholarship, an opportunity, and so much more. To suggest that what they receive is not enough would be pure lunacy."

Abstract
This paper presents the opinion of unnecessary college education. The paper is organized in a problem-solution/complication-resolution format. The problem of rising college costs is discussed, followed by the solution to avoid going to college. The paper then examines possible complications; for example, if people don?t go to college they can?t get work. The resolution was that college should be both avoided and socially discredited.
From the Paper
"It?s become a widely recognized fact. College is expensive, and saddles students with lifelong debts. Moreover, observation shows that people learn very little in college and that knowledge and talent in a field may be unrelated to the degrees that one has. There?s a simple solution to this problem: the youth of this nation should refuse to go to colleges where they will be saddled with debt and useless information. Of course, many people would complain that without going to college, one is not qualified for jobs in the real world. It is true that many jobs will not hire people who go to school, but this does not make the unschooled less qualified. If everyone refused to go to school, then corporations would simply have to accept new standards for hiring, such as talent. It is my argument that college is not worth the price and people should not pursue a college education unless they have plenty of money to spare, don?t care about overthrowing the unjust system, and don?t actually have the talent to compete in an open (not degree-based) market."

From the Paper
"An article found in Phi Delta Kappan asserts that college degrees are fast becoming the standard in education. The article asserts that ?Today, "some college" in either a two- or four-year school has become the norm. In 1997, 57% of young people aged 25 to 29 had at least some college. Many consider a bachelor's degree essential to economic success, and some foresee a day when four years of college will be the accepted standard for educational attainment, much as a high school diploma was in 1950.?(Boesel 2001)"

Abstract
This paper provides an argument for the United States to adopt a popular vote system, where each citizen gets one vote. The paper looks at the composition of the electoral college and studies what conditions led to this body's creation in the first place.

Outline:
Origins and Composition
Theoretical Concerns
Practical Difficulties
From the Paper
"The Electoral College system rests on the principle that states play a significant part in deciding national politics. The number of a state's electoral votes is equal to the number of its senators and representatives, with the District of Columbia being allocated three votes. This comes to a total of 538 electoral votes. To win a presidential election, a candidate thus has to carry at least half the number of electoral votes (Wilson and DiLulio 373)."
