If you dont mind me asking, where did you go to school?
I'm not saryant, but the school of CS at St Andrews (UK) briefly teaches us LaTeX in second(?) year, and encourages us to use it to write all our reports, essays, etc.
(OT: I also got complimented in high school for my physics coursework being typeset nicely. :D None of the other teachers seemed to really notice, though.)
Trinity University, San Antonio.
(Yes, their website is ancient)
Some of us even became proficient enough to take notes real-time during discrete math and numerical calculus lectures.
> Even with papers for the english department it was great, if only because it just looked that much better than all the Word formatted papers from my peers.
Back in college I used to get compliments on how good my papers looked from humanities professors just because it was typeset in LaTeX. Fun times.
