The university setting. It is a joy to see many young black americans attending and graduating from college. Today more than ever young black folks are attending colleges all over the nation from HBCU's to Ivy league schools. I am posing this question to students and instructors. How would you rate the academic cirriculum and their instructors? Do you think the college/university that you are attending have quality instructors? Do you have an instructor who is an intern and if so what do you think of their knowledge, skills and ability to teach? Do you think freshman students (or others) seem to take for granted the seriousness of their college education (particularly since they are paying)? Is attending more of a way to leave home, socialize and party, or really to achieve their goals and dreams? I ask because I notice that many here seem to take for granted the opportunity of receiving a college education. I find that in some classes some students talk to instructors/professors with no respect even using profanity and the "n" word in front of the instructor. I know partly this is the instructors fault but students should realize that they are now considered adults and are expected to act as such.....right?? Usually, most people really find themselves and who they are to become is often defined by the college experience. I don't know, maybe I am missing something....can someone enlighten me.
I know many that would like to attend almost any university just to receive a degree with the hope of making a better life for themselves and their current and/or future families. Please give me some feedback which will lead to the other questions that I have?
Thanks folks!

I think the college experience is an experience that every young adult with dreams and aspirations should have. However, selecting the right school and participating in the right activites and socializing with the right people will result in a POSITIVE EXPERIENCE, not a negetive experience that will be detrimental to that person's psyche.
I like the college experience at Morgan. I have been to three different schools and thus far Morgan is one I can see myself staying at. The administration is a little slow but the instructors are good and student body overall is nice. As far as people leaving home to socialize and party, yes I see Freshman do it all to often. A lot of times it's just because they don't realize the seriousness of getting a college education just yet. Many of them will grow and learn after they fail a semester or come close to losing their oppurtunity to attend school. Its all apart of growing up. But to me, the college experience is irreplaceable from the growing to the final product, it's worth everything that comes in between.
