This seems a bit alien to me, because I have been under the impression that the sole purpose of going to college is to get a degree. I appreciate that one can choose to expand his/her social circle and become more independent, but I never thought that this was considered part of the purpose of going to college. Also, I thoguht that most people lived with their parents until they got a stable full time job, no?
