College is what you make of it

Having read yet another diatribe against college, whereby author of said diatribe attends some classes, finds his or herself “bored” and quits college in disgust.

Personally, I had a pretty good time in college.

I didn’t go into a lot of debt, I met a lot of really cool people, and took some really interesting classes.

Perhaps if these unhappy people approached education with an open mind and asked what they could contribute, they might have “got a lot more out of college.”

In short, college is like anything else: if you don’t put anything in, you’re not getting anything out.
