<p>I asked for opinions, not facts. Obviously there’s no right or wrong answer. If college was really all that you make out of it then why don’t you guys who believe this just stay home a study from a textbook then? Obviously, when you’re paying tuition money, you receiving something in exchange whether that be education, the college experience, learning to live with others, college degree, etc. To make this point more concrete think of it this way: would you pay 200 dollars for an ipod if you could make one yourself. Probably not right, but since you can’t that is why you pay money to buy it.</p>
<p>Back to the topic: Sure if you are a very motivated student, you can go above and beyond the curriculum at any college you are attending, but for example it’s NOT easy to make a sports scene out of nothing if your college is not big in sports. A lot of what you experience in college is a result of what the college offers and then to large extent the opportunities the students take advantage of.</p>
