For me, it was my first time away from home, and I wasn't certain of my major. So it was useful as a self-discovery experience.
But my friend, who is going to school in his town is finding the first (and even the second) year pretty useless. And it was sad that his freshman English class consisted of determining correct comma placement. I hope it's just the school and not the dumbing down of education across the board. So scary.
