That's true, but sometimes the idea of sitting in a classroom for an hour or two to listen to something you have absolutely no interest in is just too much effort :)

I was usually interested in my classes, so I usually kinda looked forward to lectures. I only missed three lectures in four years.

Now, as a PhD student (hopefully) close to graduating, the concept of sitting in a class and being told what I should know sounds luxurious.
