Universities do prepare the students for the real world! As someone who has gone through the experience already, I should say my university experience helped me prepare for the real world afterwards. I not only learned academic skills but also survival skills. What I mean is the university taught me how to live on a limited budget, deal with household, manage a social life, pay the bills, etc. You learn to stand on your own feet, mature intellectually and emotionally. To cut it short, you enter the university as a kid, walk away as a grown up...

I agree that universities do prepare the students for the real world.It is like your last step to carry on to the real life.Everyone who has studied at university is more successful in everywhere.Most of your skills can be improved by universities also you will have more opportunities about having a job easily according to your studies.That is the way how you grow and develop yourself...
