Parents pay for college because they want to equip their children for the real world. If it's causing you problems that prevent you from communicating issues in the real world, it's not really equipping, encouraging or bettering you to deal in the RW.
I guess that depends on the parents. I didn't pay for college, nor do I pay for my kids college tuitions for the sake of equipping me or them for the real world. I pay for college so that they're equipped to find a decent job, and make a decent economic living.
The rest of their development as a person, their moral character, etc.. is the responsibility of their parents and their community. I expect my children to be strong and have good characters primarily as the result of being brought up in a proper community, with good role models, etc... I don't expect them to have to rely on their educational institutions to provide this for them. If i did, I would be very disappointed.
