I went to University to get an education. I guess I flunked the partying courses–by nonattendance.
Perhaps Jothar should have a look at the curricula in the Universities where I currently teach.
They do not leave much time for partying.
That is not to say that one could not do those things. But, as I posted, that is not what we are discussing here; I think that we can all agree that partying is not a good use of one’s time. Of course, I also think that we should expect that a good Torah home education and 12 years of pre-college schooling should have taught that lesson. If not–why do people spend all that money and effort on Jewish education?
As far as coed education, the few single-sex colleges that exist do not always offer a full set of majors, and they may also not be of the same quality as the coed universities (depending on the major).
