Seems to be a fairly mixed response to this so I'll add mine.
I don't know where or what everyone is studying that doesn't think university is all it's cracked up to be because I went to a good university and studied Computer Science. I was a real computer geek before this and on day 1, moved into halls and decided I'd never play an online game whilst at university - so I cut all ties and went head first into the university lifestyle.
The more new, uncomfortable (out of my comfort zone) things I did, the more I loved it, this doesn't mean getting blind drunk every night, but just finding the right group of friends (I had preconceptions of certain people - too loud, too alcoholic, too selfish etc - that simply weren't true once I made an effort to socialise with them), societies and sports clubs to keep you on your toes - as well as finding the time to study just enough to make your grades. I could have *EASILY* (I can't stress this enough) continued as an online gamer (I ran a clan and had a massive group of online friends I effectively gave up overnight) and I would have been unhappy with university - probably moaning about similar things (people, workload and lecturers). The work would have been the same, the people around me would have been the same but it's because I chose to throw myself out of my comfort zone and mix with people who were all in the same boat (albeit they were much more socially practised than I was) that I truly believe that those 3 years were the best of my life so far.
The skills I learnt there (of many different sorts ... nudge nudge wink wink

) were so much more than the actual Computer Science education I received - which, whilst really challenging at times, was generally easy once I set my mind to it. I consider it a bonus that I've come out with a piece of paper saying I've got a 1st class degree from a good university - If I knew what I was going to experience, I would have still gone to university even if they said I wouldn't get a degree!
University is what you make it. Drop all your preconceptions of the people around you and just try to get along with them - it'll make your university life so much more enjoyable!
