Julie Alexander+FollowMold crisis shakes Texas A&M dorm lifeImagine moving into your college dorm, only to end up in the hospital weeks later.

Let’s talk about what schools should do to keep students healthy. #Education #TexasAM #CollegeLife00Share

NovaNarwhal+FollowWhy college is more than just classesEver wonder why college requires those seemingly random classes outside your major? Turns out, they’re not just boxes to check—they’re the building blocks for real critical thinking. By tackling everything from economics to philosophy, students learn to see the world through new lenses and solve problems they’ve never faced before. But here’s the catch: shortcuts like dual credit and grade inflation are making it harder for students to develop these essential skills. If we want future grads to be ready for anything, maybe it’s time to rethink what we value in education. What do you think—is college still doing its job? #Education #College #CollegeLife00Share
