Expensive and inefficient if you aren't well off. But very true. It's probably the #1 value colleges provide; an overpriced and long networking event.

If you are not well off it is one of the best ways to meet and marry someone who is or who will be. It's hard to put a price on it, how much was going to Harvard worth to Zuckerberg?
When it comes to individual cases, yes. But statistically it's still a no. I mean most Billionaires haven't finished college. But statistically speaking, those who finished college end up being better off than those who didn't. So college is still a very risky bet. But if luck is with you, things can get awesome.
I know a guy who was pretty close to being a billionaire and he did drop out of college but he also met other people there before he did. if not college then where are you going to meet young upwardly mobile mates?
I know few friends who has parents with 7 or lower 8 digit net worth in USD. But nobody close to a billion. But at the end I'm not getting any significant part of that wealth and networking has been a total hit or miss for me. But at least it's a small perk of a terrible period of my life.
this guy dropped out of college to start his own ISP in the early 90s/ late 80s.
