He was under heavy pressure to pass. From experience, I can tell you students are pushed to perform and achieve. While this is wonderful, many are "forced" to cram in the rest of their lives around their study.
While it may seem obscene to some of you that a university or college student be doing something that isn't learning, thus leading toward longer terms and higher expenses on the institution, there is a value to be had in taking things slowly:

The education system is trying to turn us all into PHD scholars yet increasingly, that's not what the world wants of us as employees. The idea of an employee thinking for themselves is obscene for the most part.
They want...
-Experience
-Social skills
-The ability to deliver
-The ability to see what everyone else misses or give original/fresh input
-Someone who actually enjoys the job they're doing
