ence,” when going to community college for two years and transferring to a four-year school for a bachelor’s degree is a way to save a serious amount of money. I’m glad that I had the op- portunity to live in the dorms as a freshman, and some studies have shown that living in dorms, frequently seen as the epitome of the “college experience,” does actually improve academic performance (these studies were almost certainly cited by UO in order to justify their ridiculous new live-in requirement). But just because one doesn’t choose to live in the dorms, join a fraternity or go to parties every weekend, doesn’t mean that they didn’t go to college and learn a lot, both in and out of the classroom. So if you are graduating this spring, congratula- tions, whether college was the best time of your life, the worst or was inconsequential. Hopefully no matter which one it was, your life will continue to get better from here. Because while frat par- ties and trashing Lake Shasta can be fun, they shouldn’t epitomize the college experience. And if you feel like you didn’t have this traditional college experience, your degree is just as valuable.

With the price of college rising, people often wonder if the cost is worth a college degree. According to the Pew Research Center, student debt has doubled from the 1990s to the early 2010s. The Emerald asked each University of Oregon dean what the most important thing students should learn in college is and graduating seniors from each school and college what the most important thing they learned during their time her was, their answers revealed that the cost of college is paying for more than just a degree. Deans said that the most important things students should learn is gaining both professional and personal skills. Students revealed that the biggest lessons they learned in college often related to the life experiences they had, extracurriculars they were involved in, and lessons they learned.

COLLEGE OF EDUCATION

The purpose of college is to find new opportunities and consider new possibilities. College gives students a rare opportunity to see beyond their circumstances of origin; to consider, for example, a career in psychology that they would have never imagined due to not having met a psychologist, to fully develop their scientific thinking skills to the point that they become expert at weighing evidence and evaluating the quality of scientific research that has been used to (Emerald Archives) generate such evidence, and to experience the joy of learning - about others, their practices, and beliefs. Of course, all of these examples are the result of my experience at college. Ultimately, college, like all life experience, is personal, making SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM a singular generalization about its purpose impossible. I do think that college makes a person better, and there are many AND COMMUNICATIONS ways to define that outcome.”
