[b]Everyone goes off to grad school so it feels a bit high-schoolish[/b], albeit an alternative high school[/quote]

I have no connection to Grinnell whatsoever, but that's a weird take.  [b]You're suggesting that students who are going on to grad school from college are less mature?  [/b]Because they know what they want to study and are ready to make a commitment to that?     [/quote]

Not pp but it means they’re delaying entry into the real world & job market. [/quote]

Meh -- grad school is the real world -- there are deadlines and professors/bosses and coworkers/peers and unless you're in a very long-term PhD program, you're starting to look for a job almost from the get-go.  I say this as someone who worked for two years between college and law school.  When I went back to school, I found my daily routine to be much the same as it was when I worked.  The major difference (besides not having a regular paycheck) was that I worked every weekend in law school, but had a longer winter break.  [/quote]

+1 Also, personally during grad school I wasn’t living in a dorm or on a meal plan like an 18 y/o college student. I was fighting with my insurance billing, managing my own money—you know, everything a normal adult does.[/quote]
