College is not to teach you "how to be successful" or "become a better coder". In this case, it's about giving you the tools to learn to think. (...I think this doesn't apply for med school, though)
There's also the huge network of people you meet that help you later in your career. I've lost track of the number of people I know who have been given job offers from old friends/fraternity brothers/faculty they kept in touch with.
I have my current job because of an alumni from my school. There's a lot more to the college experience than just the diploma.
