I studied Electrical Engineering at university. I have an enduring memory of sitting outside at a restaurant, on a beautiful day, with my roommate, who was a political science major. At one point he started pulling out his notes and an essay and wanted my thoughts, and we spent the next hour discussing various minutae of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Another memory that vividly stands out is being at a friend's house party one evening. One guy, a arts major from Argentina, for some reason made what seemed like the best tasting beer in the world in a red bucket, and we talked for a while about how he managed to make it. Afterwards he displayed an unusual, tenacious, and passionate interest in alternating-current (AC) and as I started breaking down the basic physics and EE behind it a larger and larger group of people gathered around to pester me with questions. I love computers man but not everything is online. That's why you should go to university. Like jeffepp said, I state without qualification that my undergrad was the best time of my life.
