Half a century ago, college was where bright kids went to learn and meet other bright kids, thus creating networks and meeting husbands and wives. Now college is high school redux, with anyone qualified to be there (Asians, white guys and some of the white women) having to walk on eggshells around everyone who isn't.
I know someone who still struggles with socializing because the schools he went to punished and shamed students who even so much as talked in the hallways so much, they'd even punish the whole class for the actions of a few.
Basically, school made him more shy and introverted, and he's still trying to undo those effects decades later.
