My experience with college is that having a high IQ is really not needed to get a college degree. College work, especially some college subjects, are so easy that a student's IQ has very little effect on being able to get a passing grade. However, those who get a college degree have a lifetime advantage over those who don't. I think it would be wrong to use IQ as a qualifier for college attendance. My opinion would change if colleges decided to become more challenging in their course requirements. But, as it is now, I would encourage any student to attend college and get a degree, regardless of their IQ. If you work hard enough, you can get the degree, and you will benefit from it.
