  • I’m just telling you about my anecdotal experience. You don’t have to believe me. It changes nothing - I loved my lectures to bits. For me, it was such an improvement from high school where I was often bored! At uni, I studied what I was really interested in and even could choose from different lectures. Not every lecturer was good, so I sometimes got bored because of that, but not because I wouldn’t like the subjects they were teaching - I enjoyed every bit of information I learned about at uni. I’m sorry it was so different for you that you can’t believe this could be real for someone.

    Edit: I think I found a better way to explain myself: Imagine a nerd learning all the nerd stuff. That was me.


  • In some countries you don’t pay for education and many people absolutely love the lectures. You can study something because you love the subject. I myself enjoyed every single lecture I had and I often attended even lectures that I didn’t need in my curriculum, just for the delight of learning things. I understand there are people that study just to get a degree and employability and don’t really like their specialisation that much. That’s ok. But studying what you’re passionate about can be very fulfilling and it’s ok too, nothing snobbish about it.
