I arrived at Wesleyan University in the fall of 1979. It was a classic small liberal arts college: green lawns, ivy-covered buildings, good-looking prep-school kids walking around in shorts and Grateful Dead T-shirts.
I wasn’t going to college for anything in particular. Except to be around smart people my age. That must sound quite luxurious to young people today. But college didn’t cost hundreds of thousands of dollars then. And student loans were modest, and arranged in a reasonable, non-predatory way.
