My experience is different; college has not helped me in making lifelong friends nor develop my learning, maybe it was due to immaturity, rivalry, and jealousy among us. Yes, rivalry for grades and girls, but when I worked as an intern, the diverse colleagues who were older than I was, offered me incredible opportunities to discuss everything. We would go, in (Cold war –Damascus 1987) cultural centres (German Goethe-Institut, American and French) free movies, books and magazines in addition to lectures and open discussion. I was stunned at the variety of American magazines, showcased in the US cultural centre and free to read. The French cultural centre offered free movies, the latest in a very comfortable luxury seats. A discussion of the movies follows in the by the center’s director and we would compete discussing opposing views on many issues in French.
