I'm pretty shocked to hear this. I went to a simple state school, UVA, and even our professors were doing interesting work. Granted, you wouldn't get to participate in any of it unless you took their electives but it did exist for those cared about learning over GPA. I insist on the last part, because many of my classmates avoided electives because they were "too hard" or would "hurt my GPA". These were the same that thought that school was essentially pointless---a badge to attain so they could get a good job.
