We really need to have alternate institutions that perform the same social function. It's too bad secret societies with mystic rites don't really exist anymore.

This probably depends on what you mean by college experience. I think I was to fucked up the whole time to be stressed by classes. Until I got kicked out.
I never felt that, we spent a lot more time partying than stressing about exams.
I have not really made lifetime friends there either but I'm not a team player. If I were in the military everyone would hate me (like they did when I was forced to play team sports at school).
