I think for a lot of students, binning World of Warcraft subscriptions 
etc. might help ;) At least that's some of the horror stories I've heard 
- MMO "addiction". :)

Going out and learning needs something interested to get into - external 
projects on the web perhaps, modding maybe (Especially if you're doing 
design), doing it with fellow students in a club...

Any course probably should encourage it, but it can't exactly structure 
that kind of additional work and self-teaching...just wouldn't really 
work to everyone's tastes, and some people just do much more work on 
their class projects so they don't have time for other things.
