Absolutely, 100%. Nobody I know or care to deal with is the same now as they were at 18. I was shy at 18. I went to college, I became social. I was insecure and became secure. I absolutely believe what I wrote.

Obviously you grow as a person and you change your view on life but people's core personalities stay the same. You can control them and alter them but you have to do so consciously if it's not your natural trait.

That is where we disagree.

I'm not discounting the benefits of college and their ability to make one grow as a person. However, going straight into the real world also makes you grow as a person, and I would venture to guess that going straight into the real world is more realistic than college life.
But hey, if you don't agree with my view, then you don't agree. All good.

Yes, going straight into the real world builds up different character traits.
