I'm chiming in again on this one - I was appalled as well, in both undergrad and grad school at the lack of knowledge, and really, the lack of caring, in fellow students about the world of opera and/or song. Most students I encountered were unconcerned with anything that didn't affect them directly - they didn't know about singers, performances, etc. I went to grad school with a girl who had never heard of La Traviata! She ended up doing Violetta two years later, at the same school..... I never understood this in other students - I'd think, it's your major, for God's sake! But to no avail.....
