That’s a gross over-generalisation. It sounds like the school your friend went to may not have fostered inclusion, or he may not have been inclined to handle the academic material despite his intelligence, or both. But there are other research universities (including Ivies) that make room for students with manageable learning disabilities, and there are students with learning disabilities who can and do thrive in them (just as university isn’t for everyone, neither are vocational schools the only post-secondary education options for people with learning disabilities).
