I know some students at several different universities, and they are all furious, because they do not ever meet in person. They're paying for housing they dint need, because no on campus events. All "meetings" are by zoom (no classes, just meetings), last about 30 minutes once every week and are often cancelled. Tuition is still the same. No use of campus ammenities. Worst complaint: "I'm not learning anything!"

Yet they will earn degrees and enter fields they arent qualified for. This angers these kids enormously. These schools need to lose their accredation.

Unfortunately this is a symptom of both the mental enslavement and abuse of children who are conditioned to follow the ruling class' order of things. You do not need a college to teach you anything. You can teach yourself all kinds of things for essentially free. What "universities" are really about for most people is to buy into the middle class, to pay their royalties to the ruling class administrative strata so that you are both certified and tested and trained to follow the ruling class' orders, while at the same time entering into the alpha slave competition system that keeps you dependent and submissive to it. In the near term, the best thing anyone can do to free themselves of the ruling class salve system is to cut back on their buying and spending and educating themselves and their children outside of the system for as long as it is possible … something that you really can't do in many places, including in many European countries.

I kind of gamed the system.

I got a bunch of Pell Grants that paid over 50% of my undergrad degree. I lived off campus. I went to a very affordable community college my first two years then transferred.

Then I got a job at a grad school which provided free tuition as a perk for the job. So I essentially got my MBA as part of my salary package.

About to get a scholarship after completing my community college associate's on pell grants. Deans list multiple times and 4.0 gpa, if you can do it for free then take it, or near free, take it!

Good for you. Too bad MBA stock is down hard, especially after comments by Elon.

I learned far more useful information and skills earning my MBA than I did as an undergrad. The first four years of college are ruined because about 67% of the morons there didn't belong there. Mommy and Daddy wanted them out of the house so they sent them to college to show up to class in sweatpants and Ugz.

Grad school was way different. Everyone in my class already had a good job or good internship. Everyone was intelligent, took the courses seriously, were more mature, and weren't earning an MBA to fuck around.

A 4 year degree is practically worthless. It's just an extension of high school and practically any moron dumb enough to go into student loan debt gets accepted.

The teachers don't know how to do online classes. They're having lectures at scheduled times and half the classes are "technical difficulties"

No need for 5,300 Econ 101 curriculums anymore. Just let students choose between an Adam Smith and a Karl Marx online path of courses. MAKE COLLEGE GREAT AGAN.

Ngl, many kids I went to school with, as long as they get their degree, wouldn't give a shit if they learned anything or not.... sad times we are living in.
