I think it depends on what you mean by studying. My view is that college studying is having to memorize everything required to pass tests. I can easily read RFCs and then apply that knowledge. But I don't need to memorize shit because if I need a detail, I can just go grab the RFC again and grab the info I need. It is why when I was in college, all my lab work in any subject, computer science, chemistry, etc, was my strength. I could put the knowledge to use. But if I had to memorize shit to regurgitate on a test, I had issues.
