I for one am glad I went to University. I was exposed to topics and classes I would have laughed at earlier (philosophy, for one), met a lot of interesting friends, and had a really, really good time in general. In fact, I'd say that those years were some of the best in my life.

My only regret is that I didn't go on any exchange program. Really should have done that.

I think that if you only view higher education as a ticket to a better paying job, and nothing more, college could suck. But that's also under the assumption that you actively avoid social activities, and only go there to get your degree.

I really miss the youthful naïveté - all my peers were really motivated to do things.
