Libertarians and their Public University problems.

I think a well rounded education is incredibly important for students, and I think history, political science and economics deserve special consideration. We can't have a functioning democracy if the majority of citizens don't know history and are ignorant of politics and economics. With the cost of education being so high I can't recommend to students to take a bunch of non-major classes to become well rounded, but in ideal world they should have the opportunity.

The beauty of cheap college is that it allows individuals to get a well rounded education and get work skills without worrying that an extra semester is gonna cost them 15k. The workforce is having trouble absorbing a bunch of new graduates, entry level wages are already too low, it is better to have kids in school getting better more advanced skills or at the minimum becoming more informed citizens than being unemployed, waiting tables, or the worst case scenario, finding themselves in positions of power and influence without the knowledge to make informed decisions.

Agree with Saz. There are only so many hours in the day and if I had an internship from 10-2 I don't want to be forced to bike my a** all the way across campus for a 2:10 lecture that is going to have the same information that is posted in the slides online, or that is in the book.

Saz is making waaaaaaaaay too generalized of a statement. Can I not sit in on bio 100? Yeah totally I just need to read the chapters and show up for the tests. Can I not sit In on a 400 level liberal arts course? Highly unlikely you could and do as well as if you showed up to class.
