Universities waste way too much money on fancy food, extravagant halls, amazing experiences.
It's like an amusement park for adults.
Go walk into one and look at all the things that have nothing to do with learning. Go count how many fancy restaurants they have.
People go there for the experience, and it costs.
They should instead be about learning. Have your experiences later in life, or just independently instead of expecting the university to do it for you.
- TheOtherHobbes 6y agoBut for a certain kind of person the fancy food etc is the learning. It's a social environment for making social and professional connections and (often) a life partner. Sometimes there's some academic work too. In reality there's no such thing as "university." There are different experiences and different goals for different demographics. They all happen in the same environment, but there will always be [double figured number] of social, economic, and political games going on at the same time - sometimes in the same classes - and the demographics involved in each will often be barely aware of each other.
