Richard Sherlock (Utah) on the reason for college

Richard Sherlock, Professor of Philosophy at the University of Utah, writes in the 'Faculty Voices' column of the The Utah Statesman that:

College is a time when all students should get out of the circle that makes them comfortable and experience people and ideas that are not "just like them." This will make you a stronger, more thoughtful person. Growing intellectually, spiritually and experientially is always better than standing still. New thoughts and people are liberating. Take courses that challenge where you are. Invest time and energy in activities that go beyond your circle of friends and influences.
