Middle and high school is where a lot of students learn to stop being curious due to a lack of time. College demands far fewer hours per day, but it can be hard to forget what was taught previously.
- affinepplan 4y agoidk, college for me demanded a lot more hours per day than middle and high school, not less
- BeFlatXIII 4y agoI have to agree with you. So many of my professors have been vocally disappointed with their students for their lack of intellectual curiosity after it had been beaten out of them through the overstuffed schedules and pointless busy work of K–12.
- quickthrower2 4y agoIf you are someone who is on the cusp of a better grade at university then any curiosity time is better invested in restudying the past exam papers. I think PhD has more of a curiosity culture at least in the first year but I never did one. Also hard subjects at uni - there is only so much deep thinking you can do per day
- asdff 4y agoIt depends on your courseload that semester. When I was taking organic chemistry I would spend a good 8 hours in the library a day monday-thursday on top of class, which would open the weekend up for partying. Wake up at 10 for class at 11, then straight to the library with the occasional break for meals or other classes until 11pm or so, whenever I got too tired to continue. By my senior year when I was just taking interesting electives, I was totally coasting, probably throwing in 2 hours a week in the library in total.
