Only saves time if you consider being in university a waste of time instead of an opportunity to be free to learn what you are interested in and surrounded by like-minded people.

Oh it’s great. But depending on what country you are in, it could be the difference between a lifetime debt, and economic freedom.

University is definitely not a place where you are free to learn whatever you want, unless you already have all your credit points.

If you have all the credits done within 2 years you can spend the other 2 years learning whatever you want :)

University is an expensive credential to check off a box for most people. I'm not one of those people, and sounds like you aren't, but for most people, it is.
