, college life could beconsidered the “training wheels” of life. It is the time period when you leave home and yourresponsibilities gradually increase until you a fully responsible for yourself. During that timeperiod, especially if you are living on campus you are exposed to living and learning with otherstudents training for life as well. When receiving a traditional education, the actual collegeexperience includes meal plans, Greek life, sporting events, festivities, etc. [7]Another benefit of receiving a traditional education is the networking. The environment iscomprised of students, faculty and professionals in all degree areas. Prior to graduating, thenetworking students gained can come from the career center, previous professors, or

Self-assessment, by contrast, forcesstudents to become autonomous learners, to think about how what they should belearning. Having learned self-assessment skills, students can continue to apply them intheir career and in other contexts throughout life.Self-assessment is a useful life skill. In school, students are told what they need to learn,but in the work world, they usually need to figure it out for themselves. Most students donot come into higher education with this skill well developed. But if they are to emergeas graduates who can take responsibility for their own learning, they
