College today has been altered by all the stereotypes of how college should be from movies. there are so many movies out the that depict college in many different manners. For instance, "How High" is a movie involving rap artist Method Mann and Red Mann. They play the role of 2 college students embarking on an adventure at an HBCU and all they do is smoke marijuana and enjoy parties. That makes college kids think its okay to do all of those things and forget about their work. Another problem is alot of students don't go on visits to see what the University is about and if it fit them for where they would like to attend school.

Also I think  universities can help the situation too. Some universities depict certain things about their college that aren't true or didn't inform you about certain situations when that could be a big part of your decision. For instance, Shaw University is a very nice private school. But what they dont inform you about is that there  is only one coed dorm, the boys and girls dorm's are not as nice as the Coed dorm which you have to be of certain Classification or Have a certain issue to live in. I just think one's college experience can be a lot better with the help of themselves, the parents and making right decisions and the Universities.
