My experience was the same as all of my other classmates experience, and it is in the top 3 tech schools in the world.
I am describing what the best schools in the entire world do, and I have lots of knowledge from my classwork, and other classmates experience.
These are the best schools in the world.
And apparently someone else who responded had a similar experience at Stanford, another college that is among the best in the world.
You seem to have zero knowledge about how colleges work at even the literal best schools in the world.
Basically every top college in the world still has tests and final exams and studying and cramming. This is called the "normal college experience" at basically every college and top college in the world (and backed up by someone else in this thread from Stanford!).
