College is one of the most meaningful periods of one's life; it's a chance for personal progress and maturation. Pupils continue to discover who they are and develop many of the imperative skills to become a thriving adult. But learning isn't confined to the classroom - the discussions one has with his classmates, the funny story gained from a tenured instructor, the exposure to a different background.
