Wow, Ustwo, nice post, one of your most eloquent.
I agree, but it's even simpler: There's something for everyone and there's a lot more than "knowledge" to be gained at college. If you don't want to go, that's fine. But if you do go, you can get as much or as little as you want. If you don't get anything out of it, well, that's on you, and not anyone else's fault.
Personally, I don't see how one couldn't get anything out of it unless you didn;t go to class at all for four years, and never ever left your dorm/living place, never attended any activities etc, etc. That would be a waste. If you couldn't even get anything out of college, how do you get anything out of life?
Either way, to paraphrase the article: "different strokes for different folks...(you know the rest)"
