Prof. Steven Horwitz of St. Lawrence University has recently written two articles on higher education posted on the Foundation for Economic Education site. The first deals with the problem (from a free-market/libertarian perspective) of choosing the right college. The second deals with surviving in what will generally be a philosophically hostile environment.

I recommend both articles.

I’ll also mention that Professor Horwitz contributed this Pope Center article on his school’s freshman writing program. In light of all the comments recently on the poor writing of American students, it’s time to revisit the St. Lawrence program.
