The actual bit of paper?

...the social space, the social aspect for me is the whole point of an art school. The actual bit of paper you get at the end is worthless – it’s all about the people you meet, the conversations you have. It’s essential to have a union space. It’s a very special place for us.

What does that mean?

Thank you so much!

So what is 'it' meaning in "it’s all about the people you meet, the conversations you have" ?

That is a "dummy it." You have to interpret the meaning as "the true value is found in the people..."
