I'm in the 7th grade and am wondering: What exactly DO you learn in college?

I learned *how to think* in college.
I learned how to read difficult things and get some value out of stuff I never thought I would like...
the biggest thing I learned in college, though, was how to grow up. I was a little kid until I moved out of the home and had to make all new friends and show up in scary classes and learn that it was all a place where I could have fun while i learned.
It was the best time of my life -- i mean, hell -- you live with your friends and all you have to do is go to class!
I think everyone should do it, but not everyone is cut out for it. And that's okay too.

You learn a skill or a profession. You get a degree which allows you to get a good job doing something you like (at least that is the idea). In high school, the subjects are general, when you go to college, you have to choose a career path.

On the surface, you learn about a particular subject such as business, science, language, math, whatever. In truth, the other lessons may be a lot more important.
You learn how to do things on your own (especially if you live away from home), you learn about adult relationships, working for many bosses, time management, how to finish things you start, how to work well with others, how to live with people you hardly know, how to manage your own finances, and you basically do the last bit of your growing up.
It's a time not to be missed.

You learn to do something you really love to do. You take classes specifically related to what you want to do for the rest of your life. Seriously, if I hadn't went to college, I'd still be scanning groceries at 10:00 on a Saturday night for minimum wage. College paves the way for you to have a financially and personally successful life.

You can learn many things. Most importantly, you learn about something that you want to spend the rest of your life doing.
It is important that you explore different things in life so that you get an idea of what you think you want to do before going to college. If you don't know what you want to do before going to college, then college is the place for you to explore different educational topics.

1. To start something and finish it.
2. No one skates thru college. You can have some miserable professors and difficult courses. You learn to handle these things.
3. To hand in quality work, on time.
4. To be able to think for yourself.

This is why college grads are in demand and earn more money.

It depends what you want to study. Almost everyone has to take some basic courses in things like math, science, history, and English, but beyond your general education requirements, you take classes that relate to your major. You don't necessarily have to choose a career, but it's helpful to know what you want to do after college so that you can choose a course of study that will help you achieve that goal.

What you should have learned in high school...
(only half joking on that, unfortunately).
Most liberal arts schools try to give you a broad range of knowledge (supposedly) and then you focus in on your major which is probably somehow related to what career you want to take.
