" What did students think about the final presidential debate? Journalists, politicians, and members of the media everywhere are talking about John McCain and Barack Obama&amp;#039;s final debate, but we want to know what young people have to say about it! Lucky for us, student editors from college newspapers across the country have written into The New York Times with their opinions about the debate. Here are some highlights: D. Petty, University of Richmond: &amp;quot;On abortion, many [students] were happy to see the candidates embrace a controversial issue like that and talk about it.&amp;quot; K. Moran, Miami, OH: &amp;quot;The candidates both sounded strong tonight, with Obama seeming Kennedy-esque at some moments and McCain appearing to teeter the line between overly aggressive and holding his own.&amp;quot; S. Post, Colorado School of Mines: &amp;quot;They spent an awful lot of time talking about the different attacks each campaign has made, which was a waste of time. They didn&amp;#039;t spend enough time on higher education...&amp;quot; Elliot Njus, University of Missouri-Columbia: &amp;quot;Given the economic crunch, I would like to see the candidates address the cost of higher education and the availability of student financial aid.&amp;quot; Check out the full article here! Many of the students featured in the piece talked about education.
