The biggest benefit of going to a public high school in the DC area was being forced to interact with kids from almost every background you could imagine. But isn't it a bit odd you had to go to college to do that? Wouldn't it be better if you had grown up in a neighborhood that would let you do that? OK, you didn't and you're glad college provided you that opportunity, but isn't it a bit sad how much $ they charge for what is at its core human interaction?
