The thing about these generalizations is that they are, I would venture to say, untrue most of the time. Firstly, these stereotypes are inaccurate beyond the point of relevance, at least in a general case. A majority of Uni students go on to have successful college careers, and applying these rude generalizations to them is not acceptable. For those that struggle in college, can you really blame that on Uni? Can you really take them, split them into two groups and tell them that they have had an unsuccessful time at college for one of two reasons? No. There is a myriad of reasons why people have trouble with any situation, and categorizing them like this is ridiculous. Secondly, if the editors perceive these things among themselves, I have no problem with them writing a self-referential article about their personal qualms about college, but it seems inappropriate to bring the whole student body into it.
