Without naming names, top league tables globally and all infamous from the UK abroad (and yes was on a hard-science), so no I went to the right university, but I'm highlighting that the main part of "teaching" is done at a post-graduate level.
If you've not pursued academia this far it's akin to that moment about 10 years after you left education where you think, "I wonder what it would have been like had I known this at uni" stage.
- WalterBright 5y agoMy experience (Caltech) is a major counterexample to all your complaints. It doesn't matter if your uni was top tier - if your complaints about it are valid, you went to the wrong one. Sorry about that. I got a great deal of value from my Caltech education, professionally and personally. I have no complaints about it. P.S. The value you get from a university also can be heavily dependent on the choices you make while attending. I.e which major, which classes, how you went about taking the opportunities available. I chose classes for maximum utility in my expected career. At University of Washington, for example, you can get an excellent education. But you can also get a worthless one. It all depends on the student making the right choices there.
