I feel compelled to link the quote from Good Will Hunting here, I will refrain. However I agree completely. I also went to a “great” school, and I learned everything from overpriced books on my own time. In fact, in my entire tenure of undergrad I never attended a full week of class, not even the first week.

- askafriend 2y agoAbsolutely worth it because of the environment that it put around me for four years and the peers who inspired and pushed me to do better (and also helped me grow socially, become more independent, etc). There is nothing in adult life that's even close to that kind of environment and the growth that it fosters. Although you have to go to a good school with great peers to experience these benefits.
