A lot of that is a sales and marketing issue - "Sure you can spend time searching forums and watching videos then try it yourself - or you can have us do it, we've done repairs like that before and will save you time and hassle."

And you don't have to explain to Mom and Dad that you broke your computer then broke it again making it worse trying to fix it yourself.

When I worked at a ComputerLand franchise many years ago, one of the sales people struck up a deal with a local (and pricey) arts college for repairing students computers. It didn't end up being a good deal for us.
While yes colleges do have their own IT....it's in-house IT and they usually aren't setup retail, they are overwhelmed with in-house IT related stuff.
While we in the US do have these entitled millennials....I'm not sure about the culture of the OPs country there, I might think students in those colleges are more appreciative and hungry for success. I don't know for sure but I suspect that computers may be older, budgets may be lower, and parts...pricier and harder to get.
