> University is a place where teachers and students who are interested in a field meet to learn and research together. Modern Uni has often forgotten that.

Universities are like venture capital investments...it’s that one single class that will matter the most. 1/10 classes will have the biggest impact on your life...

It were the night courses at the Art Institute of Chicago for Walt Disney.

It was the calligraphy class for Steve Jobs.

This is an interesting way of thinking about this. There were definitely a few classes I took that really made an impression on me and changed the way I thought about things. There were also a lot of classes that were highly forgettable.
