A large part of that is the fucked up incentives of the univerisities themselves. I have a pet theory that they actively encourage student drinking and limit student access to helpful resources so large numbers of freshmen will wash out due to stress and trauma, allowing them to keep the huge amount of tuition money each semester while sorting for people who will more likely finish their degree without support from the university.
I went to a school that actively tries to expel people. The only positive I took away from that is it created a strong alumni network (not one I have access to, dropped out lol).
I guess there is a second positive, the strict honor code meant I could just leave stuff laying around (theft is an automatic expulsion). I almost immediately had my favorite jacket stolen when I left it on a chair next to my books in library when I went to a different school later.
