What's in a university?

Ya know, after my bro finished college, he said that what he learned the most from were the relationships that he had. The teachers (outside and inside the classroom) and the students. It's that ...networking.
I think college is wonderful idea. But we don't learn facts and figures primarily, but ways of working, self-motivation (hopefully), networking, trying new things.
It's a "safe" environment to test your wings, and since it's bookwork, it's not applied. Making mistakes only means you got the answer wrong, it doesn't mean your company went belly-up or you lost all your stock profits or you got fired.
What say you, college have-beens?

bookwork IS applied in everyday work. College is very important if you plan on succeeding in life, developing social skills, or making money. If people don't develop motivation in school, how will they be responsible individuals at a job? Failing in school is not just getting the wrong answer...failing in school is hazardous to a safe financial future.
