I’d be surprised to find learning and intellectual curiousity a priority for more than 25% of freshmen at any point since 2008.

The structure of a university program are also not really conducive to exploratory learning as well. Perhaps not always the case, but in my experience (especially in the latter years) was that my time & energy was entirely consumed by completing assignments, exams, etc.
I had much more time to explore my own interests after university.
