College undergraduates might not be consciously aware that a dichotomy exists between academia and the rest of the world. When asked to examine their assumptions about academia, they might be surprised to discover such a dichotomy in their thinking.

These questions might lead to conclusions that dispel invalid and unproductive distinctions.
