You could also see college as a sort of practice run for real life. If you’re falling asleep during business meetings, that’s going to look bad. If you’re sitting there texting your fiencee during a meeting, that’s not going to look hot either. Think of boring lectures as practice at staying awake for all the other boring events you’ll have to make it through in the future (if you go to academic conferences and attend talks, trust me, you’ll go through more than your fair share).

Hm, good point. But in most cases, there’s a much greater level of understood formality in business meetings than in college classes.

You are a complete and utter fool if you waste the precious time ($3000 per semester for a class at a priv. school?) texting rather than using your money wisely.

You act as if texting in class and learning are mutually exclusive… I mean yeah, obviously it’s a waste of money if you don’t learn anything 'cause you’re texting, just like it’s a waste if you don’t learn anything 'cause you’re sleeping or skipping class or not paying attention. But it’s not like texting occasionally is necessarily detrimental to your grade/overall learning experience.
