Does anyone else regret going to university?

Do any other recent graduates (maybe like 10 years maximum) regret going onto university.

I graduated in August and I think it was a complete waste of three years of my life.
It's only three years. Why do you think it was a waste of time?

Didn't meet any real friends (only been in contact with one friend after graduation)

Will go into a job that doesn't require a degree and have nothing to do with my degree

Left me into a lifetime of student debt

Left with severe mental illness (I was mentally ill before I started university however university has made my mental health conditions worse)

I am physically worse than before I started university

The entire degree was miserable. In the first term of the third year I went to student support six times. I only finished it because my parents forced me to, against my will.
