College teaches you how to think critically with a specific faculty orientation for your degree. Or, it should. And I agree regarding the Vatican. It would be one of my fantasies to see their 'hidden' library and art repositories.
i have some college experience myself
its all cram studying to do go on a test, (short term memory)
for any subject , then being tested on short term memory function
its a horrible system unless you are one of those people that study 10 hours a day literally then of course your going to learn it but killing off a whole day studying is very unhealthy physically
thinking critically is just playing devils advocate on every fact, alot do not have this common sense
most peoples brains are too slow from lack of there physical health and they waste a decade of there lives to get a stupid degree, when they couldve bought some land and been a carpenter and built a house and became fit at the same time
