I wonder what that's like. I tell my daughter that you can be really smart all of your life through high school, then go to college and find out you're dumb. At least, that's what happened to me. I chose aerospace engineering as my major. Being at the bottom of the class intellectually was a good experience, because I had never learned before to admit I don't understand and to ask for help. Of course, I also had instructors who really wanted me to learn.

I have no idea how this works in subjects where there is no right answer and you essentially get a degree based on how well you bullshit about obscenely ludicrous topics.
