College Freewrite

The response paper by Travis Weinger had the stronger opinion. I like how he attacked the seemingly endless amount of parents and elders that preach for youth to act more like they did. I enjoyed how Weinger associated the changes that have occurred with rapid success, rather than making them out to be college out to be a joke. Perlstein is just another example of someone who is going struggle to endure social changes, and be brought kicking and screaming into the 21st century. I think that Perlstein's accusation that college is no longer a liberating, and eye-opening experience is completely wrong. University level education is still the most freeing experience in most young people's lives, it has simply changed since the 1960's, and that was the most important point made in Weinger's response.
