Challenges today, however, are different. Students have to juggle more activities with less time to develop their passion for design.

Thus, students frequently do not understand passion or a commitment to design. They have little time to explore these fundamentals in the institution that used to foster them.

These students also want the best. These values support the trend to move off-campus. Demographics reveal that less than 20 percent of college students live on campus. Changes in family life also explain the attitude and expectations of college-age students. Most college students have been raised in a home with their own room, television, phone and computer.
