Are they prepared for the after college life, of course not.

I think this statement generalizes the point too much.
That is, there are situations where people go from small towns to big city schools, or vice versa. There are situations where people are working their way through school, juggling full-time jobs with full class schedules. There are also situations where people do learn a great deal in college that they are able to directly translate into their post-collegiate lives, whether it be from classes or relationships.
Is someone who never went to college more likely to mature faster than someone who went to school? What about distance away from home?
I just think there are too many variables associated with the college experience. For me, I think college accelerated my maturity. For others, I can see where it was a break from maturity. I don't think either is necessarily a bad thing.
