Ocassionally I see memes pop up depicting variations of "the moment you have so much work to do, you decide to take a nap instead" (replace "take a nap" with whatever you do when you're procrastinating).
While this could certainly be laid out as lazy student attitude, if I look back at my own time studying, I often felt just demotivated by the amount of work that had to be done for various courses to pass.
So I agree with you. Students should have more possibilities take their time and explore subjects they're interested in rather than just passing course after course.
I studied in Austria (Europe) though, so I don't know how much my experience relates to that of a US college student.
