82、ectations about the economy and now lets turn our attention to education. You may wonder what American parents are looking for when they are deciding where to send their children for college. Well, a couple of generations ago parents basically chose schools for their children. But nowadays, many tee
83、nagers are more likely to have a final say about where they end up. So what do students actually want in a college?

Visitors to campuses around America expect to see the latest technology in lecture halls, labs, and even in places like dining halls and bookstores. Whats more important, though, is access to social activities. Sports and clubs on campus are great, but if there are no movie theatres, bars, restaurants, clubs, or stadiums nearby, you are going to have a hard time getting 21st century American teenagers to go anywhere near that campus.
