College is not just about acquiring information on a particular subject... it is also about intellectual growth and overall performance...

No...at least for me.
If you're intellectually curious, and are a self-starter, autodidactic type, then you certainly don't need a professor telling you how to think. In fact, it kinda freaks me out a bit that there's this assumption in the world that people are thoughtless morons without a sheepskin. I would hope that one is able to reason and live wisely without a degree!
College made my brain turn to mush. I made two of my profs uncomfortable because I demanded too much of them, not the other way around. They didn't come through for me. College made me frustrated and depressed, and that's why it stinks for lots and lots of people.
