Since Democrats like to tell us that we should emulate Europe, I've been doing some reading about what European universities are like in comparison to ours.
From what I gather, European students are expected to have a major from day one, and expected to complete it in three years instead of four. They don't dilly-dally around with general studies stuff. That's undoubtedly one reason why they're able to keep it affordable. Students are also expected to be more self-driven and motivated in their studies. They have high dropout rates as a result of these factors. They can be very selective about which students are admitted, based on academic merit.
So what do you think, Democrats? Still want to make our system like Europe's?
