>>14466849for most of us, uni is the last "free" period of one's life. at that point, we're old enough to do anything we want, yet have very little responsibility. partying is institutionalised and mandated, unlike in high school where it's merely tolerated. furthermore, the studies are easier than in high school.
only backside is, a lot of people get into debt. this is especially the case in countries with tuition fees. if you fail to get a job after uni, or worse yet, if you drop out, it's essentially over for you
