...onto the river. There’s even a book-exchange shelf! Dining Hall Manager Michelle will know your thesis topic, favorite food, and go-to bad-day outfit. Mather has no dining restrictions. (Feel the democracy. Feel the love. Okay, feel the distance.) The food is premium HUDS, it never runs out, there’s plenty of variety at the salad bar, and the grill chefs have skillz...

College must make many students more productive workers. But at least some of the apparent value of a college degree, and maybe a lot of it, reflects the fact that employers can use it as a rough measure...
