About this Quote

John Ciardi's quote suggests that a university is a place where the professors is more concentrated on their own research study and interests than on the students. This suggests that the faculty at universities are more far-off from the trainees than at colleges. This could be due to the truth that universities are usually larger than colleges, and the professors might not have the same level of personal interaction with the students. Additionally, universities typically have more resources and funding for research study, which might lead professors to prioritize their own research study over teaching and trainee engagement. Eventually, this quote indicates that universities are more concentrated on research than on the trainees, while colleges are more focused on the trainees.
