It used to be that only the truly intellectually gifted went to university. Now, because of federally guaranteed student loans, anyone with a pulse can get into college.
I first tried community college in 1989, and failed out due to lack of effort on my part. I started again in 2014 after serving 20 years in the Navy, and I saw a marked decline in the difficulty of the material the 2nd time around, particularly in the English side of thing (i.e. writing.) I got to read some of my classmate papers once, in English 101, and the poor writing I saw was shocking.
