Are students really ready for college?
Completing high school with good grades and getting a good score on the ACT is a good start to getting into college. But, shouldn't students be prepared mentally and socially? Some are just not mature enough yet for college. They treat everything like it's high school and mommy can make everything better. Well, students need to realize that they are on their own now. They are living with another student and need to act appropriate. We are in college now, students need to grow up. As for admittance into college, I think students should have to pass some sort of test that grades their maturity. For the ones that act the way they should, this would help eliminate immaturity and frustration.

Like it or not no matter where you go and what you do some people are always going to be like that. In psychology there are the levels of maturity, depending on which theory it is and the higher you go the less people there are who make it to that stage. Some people lack the coping skills to easily transition them selves into such a dramatic change. A Problem with our society is that life is much easier now and children are a lot more sheltered than in say 1930's as a result we are left with people like that. Still I do not think they could accurately and legally test something as vague as "maturity"
