College either makes you stronger in who you are or breaks you. That statement might sound a little rash or like it's based on black and white thinking. To better understand my point by saying that let's deeper into the topic of college. Think of the word college for awhile and all of the associations it brings to mind. Did you think academics, student government, clubs, religious organizations, volunteer work, or morals? Most likely not and that’s not what came to my mind either. Today college is glamorized as being that big party where you can skip class, take tests and give presentations hung-over, continue your weekend string of one night stands, and all together take part in behaviors that usually aren't acceptable once we enter the "adult" or working world.
When I say that college either makes or breaks you, I mean that it's the everyday behaviors and decisions that you'll make to decide who you are and who you want to be. College is not solely about academics but it’s about deciding what kind of person you will become. What does the "college is a party" image do to students' morals? Do college students worry about their morals or follow defined sets of values? Are morals dominant on campuses and is this glamorization wrong? This is something is usually viewed more pessimistically. Through ancedotes, class discussions, and research, let's find out where morals have gone on campuses (or if they've been there all along).
