College Freewrite

After reading both articles, I think that the rebuttal, "Why College Matters" holds more weight. The author, Travis Weigner does a great job at making a refutation of the main point of "What's the Matter With College?" He says the Rick Perlstein's article was mostly "an extended version fo the bitching that every generation hears from the one taht preceded it: 'Back when I went to school...'" (par 2). I actually didn't realize that was the main theme of Perlstein's article until Weigner brought it up. As a current college student, I can say that I didn't agree with much of what Rick Perlstein said. Much of his evidence and reasons were ones that I could not really relate to. I don't think that I was a good audience for Perlstein's article, but I can say that I agree with much of what Travis Weigner rebuts in his article.
