I believe the "skip university" trope is sad. I also believe "everyone has to go to college" is sad. There is a huge disparity between universities -- I went to an average state university, and in most aspects I firmly believe it was more damaging to my being than helpful (it has been over 5 years since I graduated and I am still realizing and overcoming personal problems that I believe were partly inculcated in me from college and K-12).
My sisters went to decent liberal arts universities and, through observation, believe theirs to much more worthwhile. Of course each person is different, so others may not have had as worthless of an experience as I did.
Point being that (although I can't back this up) I'm pretty sure no university is better than 50%+ of universities out there, and so the endless expectation bias is often harmful.
