<p>Okay lets bring this discussion back on topic. There’s no such thing as an overrated or “rediculous” college experience; I don’t care how many times you watched American Pie, but college isn’t one big binge drinking fest that revolves around frivolity as being the core experience that many seem to think is requisite of turning a young lad into a man or a innocent girl into a ****. But there is a function, and that function of the university is to educate you and help you develop into an intellectual who can make a worthy contributions to society. Now that’s obviously a terribly vague generalization of the purpose of college, but the point to be emphasize here is that regardless of what experiences you had, failing to satisfy the above function essentially means losing out on the full “college experience”. Argue all you want about what you believe constitutes four years well spent- but ultimately, only the individual himself will know whether he has in fact gotten the most out of his tenure at the institution. Choose wisely.</p>
