Many students have been telling me that their university's life is the most fascinating lifetime. At last they've got the freedom they've been dreaming about.

Are those students in computer engineering? For I am in no doubt that universities are still useful for STEM fields.

I preferred K-12 years better personally. I learned the most then.

I watched some of this video and it misses the point. During most of the history of universities, they offered a free-thinking alternative to seminary. But today university has become the seminary of liberalism with greater intolerance than any Christian seminary ever had. Free-thinking people should avoid university. I went to one of the top universities in America and it was the most miserable 4 years of my life.

I went to and am currently in a Technical College getting a second degree. The Technical College is cheap enough for me to pay for it myself; the degrees I got and am getting are useful; I am in no debt and I can make a respectable amount of money with these degrees. All in all, I regret nothing. I feel sorry for those people who went to one of those Universities and got swindled with a useless degree and debt that they'll have to live with for the lion's share of their lives and I'm very thankful that I didn't go to the University of South Carolina like my classmates. This all happened by accident, but really I think that God was looking out for me.

You studied computer engineering I presume. How did the politics of the university affect that? Were you subjected to obligatory social studies, or something similar?

I took classes in many subject because I was generally curious. I guess economics was the worst, most politically correct. The economics exam literally had questions where siding with liberalism against conservatism was the "correct" answer. But even in math one was expected to do things the conventional way and not think for oneself. The students were very ambitious seeking success above everything with no real curiosity. The teachers were liberals teaching obedience to liberalism. This is a toxic combination where the ambitious students just blindly accept liberalism and obedience to get ahead. My high school was much better with students who actually thought for themselves.

Technical specialities, and among them the computer engineers. (Btw, tomorrow I'll maintain a practical lesson with one of auch group. The Dark Ages philosophy & New Dark Ages philosophy.) They do math, and that's good. Unfortunately, the level of skills is going down a year a year; that's what I've heard from the math department on one of the meetings.
