I don't think that most people here would want to replace their college education with self-learning because the latter is inherently harder. I agree that one can learn nearly everything on his/her own but that takes a lot of willpower and motivation which would result in higher dropout rates. I am , in fact, going to graduate in a few months and cannot think of a better place I could have spent the last 4 and a half years. I could have spent it in a better way: read more, do more, try more and procrastinate less, but there is no way I could have learnt as much as I have (educational things as well as life lessons) so easily.
