Some students have a narrow understanding of success; some educators focus too much on teaching students facts, rather than how to be decent human beings; some university tutors for abandoning their real duty of helping students, and instead concentrating on making money outside of the compus……

Hmm perhaps more a cultural thing?

China has a lot of people and is competitive in education and work... examinations and certificates are crucial here... The exams are so long and based on memorisation that it eats the precious time you have as a young adult (15 - 23) for other life experiences..

Making money outside of campus? I wish! My electricity and water bill for the past three months was nearly 700 yuan I could use more money

take our college for example, what do you think about this fact? do your teachers work outside the campus to earn money?

Actully,this phenomena can be fount in many colleges,including some prestige universities. firstly, this fact will make many students and parents have a bad impression on the job of teacher.

Quite right.It's a material world...

It's a common phenomenon that even teachers lose their value to educate students in deed.

we have to change ourselves????/ i don't

People in college are more realistic , perhaps , we may have conflic with each other because of our own interes . What we think about the college life depends on what kind of people around us . I have some lovely friends .

I think we should have make good use of our college life,this only four year,not too long.We came here to study ,this is the imprtant things,it's the first place of everything.

college life here is way too different to what i expect. now i my college life is all about my CATTI.
