gollark: It *also* works as a socially acceptable way to not do full-time job-y work for a few years, so you *can* learn things™.
gollark: But I expect you can at least get a decent overview of the bits you like most.
gollark: I mean, to be fair, it's likely quite hard to self-teach 3 years of full time stuff.
gollark: The additional spending of the top ones apparently goes on research quite a lot. That doesn't impact teaching quality much in *most* areas, since I don't think that much of your education is going to be in state of the art research. Maybe the last year.
