I just wanna say that the modern, neoliberal university is a joke and you're not going to catch the big fish from attending any of those lectures and classes tbh. I just got my B.A last week from The University of Birmingham here in the UK which is supposed to be a very solid institution but modern pedagogy is nothing more than the cumulation of bitterly guarded conservative 'knowledge'
I found this to be very true, particularly the "guarded" part of it. The things taught to me in college were conceptually much easier than the things I'd learned in high school. It was artificially hard, because such things often could not be found on the internet, and some lecturers did not provide notes, so self-teaching was almost impossible. You had to be extremely diligent in taking all the notes in order to do well.
