Universities are backing themselves into a dangerous corner by becoming more expensive at the same time they're becoming less necessary.

80% of your classes intellectually a waste of time?? Did you just pick bad classes? I always took extra classes because there was so much to learn. Quantum physics wasn't required or useful, but how can it be "waste of time"? I couldn't have learned the subject better on my own.
Outside of math and the hard sciences, there are a lot of classes that are just the professor talking about their pet topic, and it's impossible as an undergrad to tell which of these are good.

And remember, you included RISD and the Accademia in that list.

OK, but to get to 80% bad classes you would have to have a large majority of bad classes at every single stage of your education. And if you were older when you went to take classes at RISD it's even more inexplicable that you kept choosing bad classes.

I didn't find it hard to select good classes 38 years ago (ask peers, ask professors from other classes, try a few classes and see how you like them) and surely that's even easier today with the internet. If you're trying to select good classes, 80% bad classes seems crazy.
