<p>I went to my college for 5 years (college in India used to be 5 years back then, with High school being for 11 years), so it should have mattered that I spent so much time there. But looking back, it mattered and it didn’t. </p>
<p>It mattered in that I got a great technical education and I am reaping the benefits of getting a great science, math and engineering education. I have a good standard of living as a result and I am grateful to my college for giving me that. I have had 27 years of continuous employment as a result.</p>
<p>It did not matter as such, because I wish I had studied less hard and made more of an impact socially in college while I was there. And it did not matter that much because I wish my education was more well-rounded and that I had a better foundation in the Humanities and liberal arts than I got there.</p>
