Universities are an odd place for society to handle identity formation. The only reason to do it there is because concentrations of young people are there. Kinda like the ROTC or athletic programs.
The more natural place to do it is in some sort of separate gap-year institution.

Who would fund this universal gap year?
(It sounds like you think ppl *choose* to explore and/or cement their identities in uni/college)
