> Students could live at home The most valuable part of my college education was the experience I got living away from home.

  Which you could have done without the overhead of college. Getting your first job in a town away from your parents would have worked too, and may have actually been a better experience. Maybe, that was your point.

    We neglect to appreciate the effective and intentional system that college is, that forces us to have such a variety of new experiences, most not of our own choosing. It would be a shame if our ability to make wise, independent choices at age 18 was the major determinant for our potential in life. Many would not choose to invest in themselves. The university experience is invaluable. Look at it whole. Don't take it for granted.
