Functioning

Dean of the College Adam Weinberg. College, he said, should be "a time when you go from living in someone else's house to becoming a functioning, autonomous person."

What does "functioning" mean?

Thank you very much.

Hi, Briefly, it means here that when you leave your parents' house to live independently, you become an adult and are able to perform all the functions (tasks/activities) that an adult must be able to handle. Best wishes again, Clive
