Its not always the institution (or rarely is). Loads of people graduate from fine institutions without really getting a good education. It falls on the student to show up, work hard and actually learn something. Its all to easy to BS your way through papers and assignments with the internet being so vast and accessible these days. I'd say most of my college buddies became very skilled at BSing through classes instead of receiving a good well rounded education.
It also concerns me how helpless college students are these days (I can't believe I said "kids these days"). I teach classes at a university and get at least 10-20 students who approach me the day before classes start (or a week after) with the same sob story of how "My advisor screwed up and didn't tell me I needed 2 more hours to graduate." Seriously, the same story. When I was in college I tracked every single credit hour for every requirement and knew exactly what I needed to do to graduate. These kids parents hold their hands through their life and then drop them off at college and expect everyone here to pick up where they left off. And if you don't you'll be getting a phone call from their parents and little Susie's C- that she got. Christ, I'm not even 10 years older than these kids and I feel like a crotchety old professor.
