I learned more from the clubs I joined and/or formed in university than I did from the lectures.
I do wonder whether, as the technical content becomes more widely accessible, there'll be
A) A premium put on conscientiousness.
and
B) Whether clubs for specific topics will become more popular.
The second one is very ... odd ... because it would seem to require either a provision for local spaces that isn't currently there (but might be as libraries change) or much better tools for online communities.

- 6d0debc071 13y agoHmm? If we look at one of the main virtues of uni as being the people it lets you meet, then I'd have thought that solitary people wouldn't have much of an advantage from attending a brick and mortar as compared to a correspondence course or similar. Though I suppose one might argue that access to experts is important, that's - to my mind - a much more dicey proposition. Do you mean that the nature of university is such that they'll be forced to make friends?
- gngeal 13y agoNot necessarily "forced", but I was certainly much uncomfortable. A brick and mortar type of school is good if you need access to equipment and labs, but fortunately, my interests don't include practical nuclear engineering or brain surgery.
- Tloewald 13y agoI think it's hard to quantify amount learned from X vs. Y, speaking as a student who goofed off almost all the time I was in college, there's still stuff from classes I took nearly thirty years ago that gives me fresh insights.
