Re: What do college students look for in classes?

No, it depends on the school. Many schools have grade deflation.

What are the causes of grade deflation?

Re: What do college students look for in classes?

schools that aren't quite Ivy League but are comfortably high in national ranking (BU, my school, is a good example) use grade deflation to increase their national ranking.

Any school between about 30 and 100 in national ranking probably engages in grade deflation to some degree.
