That's the idea of college. The reality of it, for many students, is an overpriced resort experience where they hone their bong ripping and fornication skills.
The great fallacy of the American higher ed scam, is that those who don't attend Uni are just sitting around collecting dust while the college kids are bettering themselves. On top of being incredibly insulting, this idea is also incorrect. Millions of people enter the workforce straight after HS and use those real world experiences to learn, hone themselves, become more complete people, etc.
Fact is, the information age has commoditized access to knowledge such that most everything one might learn in a University program is available for free online. So the real delineators between the degreed and those without, are the social class structure Trump is trying to tear down with this order, and laziness, since a sufficiently motivated person would just go learn the material themselves and not pay the 100k bill.
