I can very honestly say I never learned how to learn in college. I was finally forced to learn as soon as I finished and entered the "real world".

That's precisely my point. You tried it, it wasn't for you. It isn't for everyone. But trying it out is important.

I mean, the OP said he learns best being surrounded by books and smart people; that's college in a nutshell. You're unlikely to ever find a better library.
