True, but seeing others exercise it can release it in you as well.

College does not "give" you anything. It never has. All it has to offer is opportunities for you to "take". You get out of college what you explicitly "take" from it. You can class through taking and passing classes, or you can actively search out every possible opportunity, stretch every boundary, suck every bit of marrow from the bone.

Ultimately college can be a time-passing exercise in fruitless make-work. Or it can be the foundation to an amazing career. Only you can determine which it is though, not yhe College itself.
