I agree. The University provides the opportunity to do and experience all sorts of things; at my own school I got to work with/talk to/learn from many of the smartest people I have ever met and learned (outside of my engineering curriculum) everything from Cray YMP era super-computing to an class in bargaining and negotiating (which has probably helped me at least a little almost every day since) to how to pan for gold and climb mountains. But it's up to the individual to take advantage of it; if all you do is go to the required classes until you graduate, you're probably missing out the best parts.
