I'm a far better self-teacher than any I've yet had, so if I want to :LEARN:, I teach myself. I go, however, because its free and people, for some asinine reason, won't believe I'm 'educated' until I have that piece of paper.
College is an institutionalized waste of an 'education' for me, and I'd probably go with your roommate.. its about developing as a person, not an academic. My interpersonal skills have dramatically changed, and I've learned much more about myself than I learned about scholarly topics.
