This might come across as a very strange question but is it uncommon to find engineers who did not enjoy school or think highly of the schools that they attended? I have encountered numerous computing and IT types over the years who did not enjoy school or had bad experiences at school but very few electrical or mechanical engineers.
I'll say again, liking school is a question of social compatibility and an aptitude for academic study. Neither directly relates to engineering skills and passion. I think the same applies to university, you may be good at taking notes, studying the right books, doing all the assignments, whilst others are distracted by their practical pastimes and passion for the subject itself. If you have both academic skills and applied skills, you are fortunate indeed.
