torahls, what do you mean all these “gedolim”
are you tring to insinuate that they were mistaken because i can assure you they weren’t. there is nothing wrong with going to college if it’s done in a proper setting such as YU, Landers, Machon Lev etc… in todays society college most of the time is very much required in order to make a parnasa which happens to be a chiyuv, (for those who are in shock check the gemara kiddushin, the rambam, …) these instiutions produce people who are serious bnei torah and who earn stable parnasa
