The non-academic experience at college is the secret to why we pay so much for it. It also tends to piss of people who are extremely interested in learning and nothing else. They wonder what's the point of all this B.S. that's not knowledge. Well, we're all humans, and we humans have certain needs, like study, love, friends, adventure, etc, and the need to share similar life experiences with many other humans, like with everyone who also went to college. This is why I think talk of a higher education bubble is too general. I am certain many colleges are overpriced but, by no means will colleges ever go away, or even be extremely different. We are not talking tulips here. I hope tuition prices come way down, but the college experience is here to stay. Heck, if you're desperate for great employees who could have their pick of jobs, you tend to turn your company into "college". Just think of Google or for that matter Microsoft, or most big tech companies and their "campuses."
