Universities do prepare us for the real world- agreeing with Hatice

Hatice,
I agree with you. I think 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...
