The problem with universities is they create a self fulfilling prophecy, one that most students graduating from their will support, willingly or unwillingly, for their own benefit. If I go out and tell that XYZ uni I graduated from is not worth it, I would also be decreasing my chances of getting a job.

I know the 4 years I spent in my college were not worth it in an industrial perspective. Yes, I made friends, I learned how to learn, and I also got a degree to show to potential employers. But going back 4 years, would I repeat my decision? Absolutely not.

It's hard to accept what you did. But then again, you never graduated, so it might as well not affect you.
