Going to university has made my life more meaningful. I spent four years studying literature and literary theory, and it changed my world view and even how I view myself. It enriched my life because it allowed me to take on different perspectives and it taught me critical analysis. It changed my life forever. I don't speak for everyone of course, especially considering an English degree is quite different from many other areas of study out there.
