KMTT podcast just sent out some talks given at Gush by R/Dr/Lord Jonathan
Sacks on the topic of how to find holiness after the gap year for those
returning to college.

His model is that one goes to university to learn what is univeral --
chokhmah bagoyim taamin.

You got to yeshiva and learn after yeshiva to internalize the Torah that
is particular to the human being.

The only way to perfect creation, to bring ge'ulah to the world, is by
fusing both. Similarly, you need rabbanim who not only know a lot of
Torah, but know how to bring that Torah to day-to-day life. And so one's
job in university is to learn the world with an eye to figuring out how
to enfuse it with Torah.

Tir'u baTov!
