The College Experience
I haven't been to college, and don't have any immediate plans to. But I hear people often speaking of the "college experience" and how it's not just about studying, but also about finding yourself and developing both the mind and socially.
So, if you've been to college (or know someone that has), what have you learned? Both about your self, academically, etc.
I get the impression that it's about 1. the independence, and 2. discovering what you believe and so on
So what were these precious experiences that I've missed out on?
Maybe I can make some ground!
Thanks!

College is honestly what you make of it. You don't have to go partying or whatnot. A lot of students don't. It all depends on you and the group of people you choose to hang with. Not only do you need to worry about independence, you have to worry about how much harder the workload is on you. College is nothing comparable to highschool. Every student is for themselves. Not even your friends can help you. The independence is one thing, but you have to use it as a lesson to teach you to get things done for yourself and not rely on others to do things for you. It is definitely a time to develop socially if you have friends there and if you meet people you want to associate with. Just remember to be smart about the decisions you make because the consequences are really severe if you mess up really badly.
