ABSTRACT
In this chapter I discuss what seem to be the most important lessons students acquire while at daigaku. I begin by recounting what many students have told me about what they think the purpose and value of higher education iso Then 1 analyze one of the most important lessons students do leam: hierarchy as expressed in junior/senior relations-essential for being a sunao (obedient) worker. Next, I discuss what students think of faculty, the differences between "good" and "bad" students, and how, from their point of view, daigaku should be improved. Finally, I discuss some more general views students have about society as they are integrated (re-disciplined) into the labor force.
