That and the fact that relationship angst can easily wait until after third year assignments are completed.

You can learn that in law school I suppose or just by following politics. The bit about relationships -- that's an indirect quote from Samuel Johnson who used that phrase to describe a second marriage. Extending it to relationships in general is even more cynical and yes, one can learn that at uni, although not in class.

Well if we're talking culinary lessons learned:-

Mayo is not salad cream gone off, tinned asparagus is not sophisticated and just because you CAN get a 1.5 litre bottle of liebfraumilch with a screw top doesn't mean you should.
