I disagree. Higher education is a fantastic thing. Being able to talk to some of the best people in their respective fields is a privilege. If lectures seem slow, what will be even slower is managing to get a balanced perspective on the field you go into on your own, since you will be going in as a relative beginner. Being obliged to study stuff that at times *seems* irrelevant can turn out very useful in the end. Besides, to suppose that something is irrelevant requires you to have a better understanding of what is important than your lecturer. As a beginner you don't! Afterwards you can branch off, until then perhaps it's wise to be the good student.
Also the college experience is something you'll never get again. And it's awesome.
