They said (and I disagreed) that the federal government needs to end all college loans right now. They listed a few examples of students using the loans to pay for cars instead of college. To be honest I can even see the logic of the students that did that, and focusing on them ignores the forest for the trees.
I would propose instead integrating the campuses with their local communities - have the students (all of them, not just grads) do actual research and use all that tuition money they pay to try and create real value for the country. For instance, why, if there is a college with an agriculture program, do they spend the majority of their time in a classroom reading textbooks, instead of actually out experimenting with new ideas on how to solve local food supply issues? Why are agriculture students reading about planting crops instead of actually planting them?
I have further solutions that I'd propose, but one of the main ones is basically that; college students should be allowed and encouraged to actually live their own lives and contribute to the community, instead of being pent up in uni. Yes, I do feel that colleges are actually acting as a barrier to these things. I don't blame the students, most of them are simply doing what they have always been told was best for them. Best for them being shortsighted advice pressed upon them by their elders and their elders before them, IMO.
