It's educational and gives you a place you could meet future co-founders as well. I feel like people look at college from a purely educational perspective, which isn't exactly correct. If you're going to college just for the education, you're in the wrong place, if you ask me.
Then again then college isn't the only way you can do those things. Perhaps if college didn't exist, there could be something filling the void that's not only more efficient at educating, but at fulfilling those things too.
This is very true. However, just because college does exist doesn't mean something better can't show up. It seems to me college is the best place to get all of these things in the same place quickly.
This is a non-sequitor, unless you are implying that not going to college is not fun.
It depends on your experience. If your high school was better (private, small) then the college can seem a bit anonymous.
