I used RStudio in my university stats course, along with the strong recommendation by my professor to get the book "OpenIntro Statistics" (3rd edition back then).

I really couldn't care less about statistics, which like with many other topics/courses made/makes it incredibly hard for me to concentrate on and actually learn something about it. I could force the knowledge into my brain to be able to recite and use it in practice over and over again, but the moment the exams come around it's all gone from my head. That certainly made university very problematic.

[1] Edit to add: I forgot to say that using RStudio was the only remotely pleasant part of that Stats course and in later courses where some stats work was needed.
