Colleges and universities were once limited to one type of student, upperclassmen, but now colleges and universities are centers of education for people of all backgrounds. People from different backgrounds and opinions coming together in these centers of education forced many universities to evolve. By offering colleges and universities a wide variety of students, it forces them to abandon one standard in education. For this reason, 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 didn't end there; Due to the birth of the World Wide Web, most colleges and universities now offer the option 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 with the aim of reducing education to just the essentials. Minerva wants to take away campus, sports, conferences and most services leaving only their version of education. Minerva's goal of offering options to students narrows their reach, leaving only a select few with the desire to join Minerva. Restricting students only leads to a worse education, especially since students are the ones paying for the kind of education they want. The college's most valuable asset is its plethora of living options, community building, study abroad, and variety of classes, this aspect of the college in particular is what creates a perfect education for any student. Living options allow students to have a comfortable educational experience. ..... half of the paper ...... their methods clash with scientifically determined best practices and the fact that students attend college in a different location each year are pointed in the correct direction. The most important aspect of education is that students want education. Curiosity is the greatest strength for 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 concern about these Internet startups is that it's not clear that they're going to be good at the fire-starting part" (Wood 516). Talking to any great scholar would make this point clear. Great educators practice in academia for the love of their subject. Igniting curiosity and improvement in someone will drive them throughout their life. Developing this motivation is the most complicated aspect of education. Motivation develops seemingly by chance but persists continuously.
