Small Size, Big Effect


Corporatization within higher education and a precursor to privatization has obviously been blooming. Nicolaus Mills states in The Corporatization of Higher Education that ranking among colleges is what defines their level of superiority. The higher the count of rejections from a particular college, the more it appears to be in demand. This pressure to get accepted and enrolled into a good school is applied to students before they even start college. Not surprisingly, this pressure stays even after students start their college careers.  This is the reason for excessive adderall use which leads to sleep deprivation within The United States. With unpolished time management skills, students procrastinate till the last minute of their to-do's and stress to get their assignments and exams completed. The adderall, although increasing focus, also increases the span of time of sleep inability. Students wind up puling all-nighters to study for exams and get their work done.  In the end, what is more beneficial? Is it the more time spent studying or more time sleeping before the exam?
