Given the ease at which information can be obtained nowadays and the relative laziness of a lot of professors (also the fact that most of them are working on a PHD while trying to "teach" at the same time), I would argue college needs a serious overhaul. For example, any class where you sit in a lecture hall for 3 days a week, and your grade is determined only by 2-3 tests, should probably be online only, with PDF study materials, and cost next to nothing. Most "IT" degrees should also likely be online only given that there is absolutely no reason a tech focused worker should ever have to work in an office. Also would mean students could live at home the first couple of years of college, which would greatly reduce the amount of debt they accumulate since most of the cost is dorms/apartments. Hell, take the savings and give all the students 5G enabled laptops instead, now they don't even need home Internet, or going to their local library.

Probably still need traditional college for most SEM (STEM minus the "T") classes, but still.
