all the while pissing away your own money on mostly meaningless experiences that won't apply to your life after school.
you can teach yourself a LOT of what school will teach you. the internet is ensuring this.
for example: 12 free online courses.

this is why I'm dropping out of a liberal arts education...a lot of pompous postgrads come out of that just because of their 'wide range of experiences in learning' (which is bullshit). schools with research opportunities, in the field experiences, and an early focus on a specific body of knowledge will propel you much further forward and can help secure a career for you.
you will learn about a wide range of topics and have amazing experiences if you choose the right field to go into.
oh, and you want to have 'eye-opening experiences'? do acid and go to music festivals. that's what a lot of the liberal arts students are into anyway. damn hippies. or on a more serious note, go travel the world. you don't have to be part of an educational institute to get a degree in life. and it's a lot cheaper than you would expect if you budget it right. take it from someone who's done it, used to think the same way you did, and then called himself on his own bullshit.
but more power to you if you want to take a wide range of classes and come out without the ability to get a job without more postgrad work.
