Beloit College Mindset

Is it just me...or does this list keep getting scarier? Or maybe I'm just getting older. These are my favorites from this year's list:

1.  The Biblical sources of terms such as “Forbidden Fruit,” “The writing on the wall,” “Good Samaritan,” and “The Promised Land” are unknown to most of them.
2.  They have never seen an airplane “ticket.”
3.  A significant percentage of them will enter college already displaying some hearing loss.
4.  Outdated icons with images of floppy discs for “save,” a telephone for “phone,” and a snail mail envelope for “mail” have oddly decorated their tablets and smart phone screens.

If anything this list is a great insight into the college student we serve,http://www.beloit.edu/mindset/2016/
