Really?! From my observations, uni life is traditionally way more about doing as much socialisation as possible and minimal work. Calculating how many questions you can get wrong in order to 'pass.' Figuring out who got the most drunk on the weekend and waltzing from one party to the next while trying to get as many chicks as possible. Really good maturing going on there!
Yes, that is the life I lived when doing an aviation degree. IMHO the majority of content taught in an aviation degree can be learnt straight from the recommended textbooks, part of the reason i attended 20% of my lectures yet still achieved a 84% GPA.
