Four years or more of soul-destroying boredom while you sit among hormonally imbalanced youth. It's no wonder Flaubert said schools are the slaughterhouses of imagination.

Oh also, pep rallies.

It was UC Davis, not Berkeley. It's the ag school of the UC system. You can get a degree in oenology--that is to say, wine drinking.
