'arriving to college"

In my book that should be either arriving at college, or coming to college.

full: Gen Z are arriving to college unable to even read a sentence—professors warn it could lead to a generation of anxious and lonely graduates

    Why would someone who is unable to read a sentence be able to graduate from college? It seems like these professors would just push people through to graduation or they would make their statement that it leads to a anxious and lonely generation of dropouts.

      Cuts in state funding to higher ed. over the years means that student tuition is covering most of the costs and, as they say, "the customer is always right". Academia isn't immune to being anxious about where their next paycheck is coming from, same as HN.
