In graduate school I do agree creativity and personal development is paramount..
not imo, you can learn many diverging, fragmented, wide ranging sorts of information and yet develop your critical thinking at a minimal level...as if most of those bozos that teach all the lectures have some sort of clear picture of each field, they just know their particular sub-sub-sub specialty and that's about it. Eventually in graduate level you ll only have to learn your own sub sub sub specialty and all the other enormous amounts of infromation they've been forcing down your throat will be completely irrelevant....been there, done that...it is a miracle how in most demanding schools, and these are a few, very few, they don't stifle your creativity completely by the time you get to graduate school.
