[quote=Anonymous]It is part of the history and culture of US colleges and universities. Different countries have different cultures.

In other countries, many students live at home and attend the university in their city. The university is a place to go for academic classes and that is it.  Here, the university years are seen as a time for a young person to grow and develop as a person and not only as a time for academics. Many students traditionally live away from home for the first time and the university provides for learning in academics and many other areas also. The university provides opportunities for learning in many areas in addition to academics.

It is a different way of looking at the university years. Not better or worse, US universities just have a different approach and role to their students than universities in other countries. It is probably good for international students to be aware of the differences when they choose a US university and decide whether they prefer the US way or the way in their home country.
