In the past, colleges and universities were limited to only one type of student, upper-class males, but today colleges and universities are centers of education for people from all walks of life. People of different backgrounds and opinions coming together in these centers of learning have forced many colleges to evolve. By giving colleges and universities a wide variety of students, it forces them to abandon a standard in education. As a result, all colleges and universities must offer an assortment of options in an effort to provide everyone with the best education possible. The evolution of colleges and universities did not stop there; Due to the birth of the World Wide Web, most colleges and universities now offer the ability to enroll in online courses. This rise in online education has given rise to a new form of university, fully online universities. Author Graeme Wood presents in his essay “Is College Doomed?” » a wonderful example of what a college or university should not be. Graeme Wood describes Minerva, an online university that aims to strip education down to the essentials. Minerva wants to remove campuses, sports, conferences and most amenities, leaving only their version of education. Minerva's goal of removing options for students narrows their reach, leaving only a select few eager to join Minerva. Limiting students only leads to a worse education, especially since students are the ones paying for the version of education they want. The college's most valuable asset is its plethora of options for living, community building, study abroad, and course variety. This aspect of college in particular is what creates a perfect education for any student. Living options allow students to have a comfortable educational environment. ..... middle of article ......ng their methods compared to scientifically determined best practices, and the fact that students attend college in a different location each year are in the right direction. The most important aspect of education is making students want to learn. Curiosity is the greatest strength of education. "As Lewis explains, 'Plutarch said that the mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled.' Part of my worry about these Internet start-ups is that it's not clear that they're good at starting the fire” (Wood 516). Speaking to any great scholar would clarify this point. Great educators work in academia for the love of their subject. Sparking curiosity and improvement in someone will guide them throughout their life. Developing this motivation is the most complicated aspect of education. Motivation develops seemingly by accident but persists continually.
