From my extremely scientific study (i.e., bumping into people while walking around campus), I'd say that about 95% of all incoming freshmen are aimless hoodlums. You know the type--flat-billed ballcap at an odd angle, pants down by the knees, and they walk with that odd strutting shuffle.
Anyway, these hoodlums were a very small subset of my freshman class, and they mostly dropped out or switched to business degrees. They now appear to be the majority. I was talking about it with a friend who teaches the lowest level of freshman math, and she said that most of the people coming in these days are entirely funded by student debt (a.k.a. loans). In other words, we have a majority of morons with an attitude problem who basically will never be able to pay off their student loans, because they don't realize that they would be better off not going to college.
Anyway, that is what I've noticed--not big and Sowelly like Kevin Baker, but the feet on the ground at a small engineering school in MT.
God save us all.
