Answers
College did not live up to Helen Keller’s expectations because she previously loved learning for the sake of learning and she felt that college did not allow for that.
Helen Keller was very excited to finally go to college, because she worked so hard to get there being blind and deaf. This was especially the case because she had to wait a year after being admitted to continue preparations. She had built it up in her mind, and therefore there was bound to be some disappointment. Radcliffe was not the paradise she expected.
For one thing, she complained about the lack of time she had in college. Helen felt that she no longer had time to reflect. She was no longer learning just for the joy of learning.
But in college, there is no time to commune with one's thoughts. One goes to college to learn, it seems, not to think. When one enters the portals of learning, one leaves the dearest pleasures–solitude, books and imagination–outside with the whispering pines. (Ch. 20)
Helen felt that college was not the “Athens” she thought it would be, because some of the people were possibly just pretenders and not geniuses.
