  Not relevant. In modern day if you have time and freedom at a uni you're the top 1%. Today the costs are so high you have to be working and studying full-time. Sometimes at the same time. During covid schools made whatever rules they liked, even if they infringed on basic rights of your rented home/property. You don't need to spend 80K and drop out in the third year to get social experience. Everyone else outside of universities does it just fine.

    I went to University in Germany, where there is no tuition, and admittance is gated by pre-academic grades. The only money I had to spend[1], was for the apartment I rented out with my roommates and for feeding myself. I had a fun and flexible part-time job for that. A lot of my friends stayed with their parents. Certainly not 80k... [1] Technically that's not true. My studies had the misfortune to overlap with the brief time where there were tuition fees in Bavaria. It was around 300€ to 500€ per semester, and a massive pain in the a**. I was able to get by, and it got voted off pretty quickly.
