Colleges [have] forfeited the responsibilities of in loco parentis and have gone into the pimping and brothel business.
Vigen Guroian
Image
Colleges are places where pebbles are polished and diamonds are dimmed.
Robert Green Ingersoll
Image
Colleges seem to want candidates that are so well-rounded they'd have to be two different people use together with mutually exclusive characteristics! They have to be gung ho athletes and sensitive artists, studious nerds and gregarious social networkers, future rulers of the universe and selfless altruists.
Rebecca Goldstein
Image
Colleges hate geniuses, just as convents hate saints.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Colleges, in like manner, have their indispensable office,--to teach elements. But they can only highly serve us, when they aim not to drill, but to create when they gather from far every ray of various genius to their hospitable halls, and, by the concentrated fires, set the hearts of their youth on flame.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Colleges and universities, for all the benefits they bring, accomplish far less for their students than they should. Many students graduate without being able to write well enough to satisfy their employers... reason clearly or perform competently in analyzing complex, non-technical problems.
Derek Bok
Image
Colleges are a unique space in our culture. They're a temporary constellation of humans, like a workplace. And the rules about sexual assault and harassment in a workplace are narrow rules. They're stricter than what's considered criminal on a city street. By this logic, the same rules should exist at universities too.
Vanessa Grigoriadis
Image
Colleges are like old-age homes, except for the fact that more people die in colleges.
Bob Dylan
Image
I feel like there is a lot of inherent humor in the stress and insanity surrounding that process. People lose their minds, trying to prove their parental worth by getting their children into one of five colleges when there are thousands of good colleges across the United States - and elsewhere.
Tina Fey
Image
We need to send hundreds of millions of dollars down to our public high schools, vocational colleges, and community colleges to begin training people in the green-collar work of the future - things like solar-panel installation, retrofitting buildings that are leaking energy, wastewater reclamation, organic food, materials reuse and recycling.
Van Jones
Image
The genius of the United States is not best or most in its executives or legislatures, nor in its ambassadors or authors or colleges, or churches, or parlors, nor even in its newspapers or inventors, but always most in the common people.
Walt Whitman
Image
Successful colleges will start laying plans for a new stadium unsuccessful ones will start hunting a new coach
Will Rogers
Image
Ultimately it is the yearning to believe that anyone can be brought up to college level that has brought colleges down to everyone's level.
William A. Henry III
Image
You will hear more good things on the outside of a stagecoach from London to Oxford than if you were to pass a twelvemonth with the undergraduates, or heads of colleges, of that famous university.
William Hazlitt
Image
Everybody knows that fraternities are a normal culture in all colleges. It exists in all colleges. President Clinton was a member of a fraternity. In fact, anybody who goes to College in the United States is a member of a College fraternity. There is absolutely nothing evil or occultic about fraternity.

When I was going to college, there were probably four colleges in the nation that offered a major in meteorology. I wasn't fortunate enough to be in a part of the country where that was readily accessible. I have been doing weather since I graduated from college. I feel solid about what I'm doing.
Sam Champion

I kept going to different colleges, but dropped out.
Spencer Dryden
Image
I went to an historically black college where we're always told that there's limitation. And so I'm happy to represent for black colleges.
Terrence J

I'm sure that being an applicant from the American School in Vienna helped get me into all seven colleges I applied to.
Thomas G. Stemberg
Image
Community colleges provide higher education where people live, helping to build strong ladders of opportunity that allow people to secure a foothold in the middle class.
Thomas Perez
Image
I don't believe in colleges and universities.
Ray Bradbury
Image
The Small Business 'common app' would function much like the one that students complete to apply to multiple colleges and universities simultaneously. It would ensure that small businesses across the country can concentrate on growing and creating jobs - not wasting time, filling out mountains of repetitive paperwork.
Kay Hagan
Image
If we expect our children to thrive at our colleges and universities, and succeed in our economy once they graduate - first we must make quality, affordable early childhood education accessible to all.
Kirsten Gillibrand
Image
Typically cult groups target universities and colleges. Most likely those schools that maintain campus housing.
