The generation of students in college, just out or heading there soon, is causing those in academe to make big changes for the future as they welcome young people long immersed in technology and accustomed to both alone time and working together.

Experts say those in their teens and early 20s are so very different than their parents that colleges and universities are wasting no time in adapting.

"(Students) are coming to school with iPods, computer notebooks, cellphones, PDAs and everything you can imagine," says Joe Rizzo of Hillier Architecture in Princeton, N.J.

His firm asked more than 200 colleges and universities last summer how they’re preparing for the onslaught of students who don’t know what life was like before chips, bytes and dot-coms.
