From what I've heard from people with college aged kids or friends who work in universities is that they're mostly there to network, get internships, and jobs. They expect to walk out with a degree because they paid for it, not because they're doing the actual academic work for it.

It was so cute when he walked into the family room while I decorated my Christmas tree and was like, "Rup, I downloaded all their albums!"

I wasn't expecting him to do that AT ALL.
