I dunno about uni or anything more 'serious', but I did this a decent bit in hs to let me sidestep the parental/student control bullshit and let me play games while the box I was using was 'offline'. Helps that I was far and away the smartest kid in the room for tech, and so I'd often aid teachers and they'd look the other way when I finished my assignment in 15 minutes and proceeded to do whatever I wanted for the remaining 75. In computer hardware class, I ran a minecraft server for others to join. In business and finance, played tanks, tower defense, and other 2D multi-player games with others in my row. In both drivers ed and physical ed, I'd play racing games on my laptop; because there was no internet in either location, I'd hotspot my phone. I remember another student I was friends with bringing their laptop and playing WoW on my hotspot as well.

Good times.

Yeah it’s much easier to get away with that stuff in HS depending on the school, they often don’t have the funding for competent IT.
