I went to a notoriously conservative university - one of the most conservative in the country. A lot of my family members had gone there, too. I got the same major as my mom.
She blames the school for turning me into a socialist.
In actuality, of course, I just: learned how to think better, read lots of books, and was surrounded by shitty conservative people for 4 years.
Many such cases. Ultimately, universities are places designed to expose people to ideas - some good, some bad.

Modern universities are places designed to turn tuition and government grants into real estate purchases to use as rental properties
Well… yeah fair. They still do expose people to ideas though, if only as a side effect of generating tuition
