Did college make you feel more or less intelligent?

Hum... I didn't need to attend college to realise I lacked knowledge. I went there because I wanted more knowledge and tools to serve me in my life.

You did it backward. If you ever thought you knew it all, you were very immature.

I won't argue against that. But prior to college you're given straight A's due to grade inflation (well, still the case in college...) and you're told that you're part of a special minority for getting into college.

But what I realized was that even though I was in a small minority, that amount of knowledge you gain in college is really, really small. I also learned that the world's a bigger place. Congratulations for you if already knew that going into college.

Being a part of a minority because you go to college doesn't mean that you're more intelligent than the majority who doesn't go. It means you'll get tools and means to use this intelligence in a certain way that most who don't attend college won't get or develop.
