For much of the history of American higher education, dorms and other student amenities (设施)—from dining halls to recreational centers—were thought after the primary business of campus planning: grand academic buildings.
By the turn of this century, colleges had an increasing appetite for campus luxuries. A surge of students from the millennial (千禧年的) generation were graduating from high schools nationwide, and many colleges found the simplest way to compete for attention in a crowded market was to build fancier facilities. Construction cranes were everywhere on campuses, and often the most high-profile projects involved student amenities usually financed by borrowing.
Now, after a building boom that lasted more than a decade, the pace of spending on luxurious campus decorations is slowing. The reason behind this shift is a combination of growing concerns about rising tuition and student debt, declining numbers of high-school graduates, and the ever-fluctuating tastes of students and parents.
Another reason for colleges withdrawing from the amenities arms race is that higher education is no longer in a growth mode, so there are fewer dollars available to build student luxuries. Enrollment numbers in higher education have fallen for five continuous years. It’s also unclear if the "build it and they will come" approach actually worked in attracting students or keeping them through graduation.
Some higher-education experts argue that ever-fancier amenities for students distract them from their studies—college students spend only a quarter of their week on academic pursuits—and encourage them to spend time alone in private kitchens and bedrooms rather than with other students in dining halls or lounges (休息室). Research shows that without the sense of community that often comes from living together in close communal quarters, students may have fewer opportunities to learn how to get along with different people and manage conflicts, or develop the friendships and networks that keep them in school.
As colleges increasingly worry about boosting their retention and graduation rates, campuses are returning to their old-school ways. Dorms and other student amenities are going back to more modest times with the conveniences of the modern age. [br] What does the author say about American higher education?
