University didn't agree with me mostly because I can't pay attention to the average lecturer. Getting bored in between words or while waiting for them to write means I absorbed very little and had to teach myself nearly everything.

Audiobooks before speed tools were the worst (are they trying to speak extra slow?) But when I can speed things up comprehension is just fine.

The worst part about talks/lectures is that once you lose the thread, the rest is meaningless. If my mind wanders a bit 5 minutes in to an hour long talk, the rest of that hour is a lost cause
