A university is a place full of beautiful ideas, full of energy, if you accept it.

I'm not so sure.
You could also say it is a question of mastery over your own mind, that coincidentally is your life purpose, so you should work on it.

If you have nothing better to do than studying like founding a company in right moment, when you see a marketed need, do it.
When you can find another powerful idea to persue, you might follow it.
At the moment their isn't really a conflict between your purpose of searching mastery of your mind and being at university.

When you have to learn some economic model, transfer it in your mind to the level of the individual.
How would someone behave in a personal development sense when he would try to benefit from that model?
