I sure as hell don't. Working is too much fun, I don't like being in classes and such.
The funny thing is that I am a teacher :D
Just have fun with it, and don't abuse Google or Nexus[www.nexusmods.com] until you really feel the need to, because once you open those doors...
All in all, there is quite a lot to do. A few bugs and dev brain farts to overcome (usually with a mod or other community fix), but still enjoyable. I think I made it to 200 hours or so before I found the need for any mods...
As for the downloading, go hijack a friends cable/fiber connection for an hour. @150 I think it only took me about 30 minutes or so...
Doing that you'll have collected a decent number of settlements too and can properly enjoy what they have to offer. Even if you're not into building stuff, just at least give each settlement a building with beds, a few crops, water, defenses (food + water = defense requirement) and a scavanging bench or two so you keep resources coming in. If you get a notification about your settlemnt being under attack, go help them soon-ish or you'll need to repair stuff afterwards.
If you're methodical like I am (with a 4.0 I'm guessing you are), use www.fallout4map.com to keep track of everything you've collected (I don't use it to cheat though, just to keep progress because sometimes you have to come back to a place during a mission to collect certain items).
Take your time, don't rush the game or you'll just spoil it for yourself. Don't even bother with the main storyline, you'll undoubtedly criss cross the main storyline allowing it to naturally move forward.
Don't rush settlements, be very mindful of them, before you know it, you can have more settlements than you have resources and that really can make life difficult.
Choices, this game is full of choices, ones that really affect the game (like whether or not a settlement can become yours etc). Grab every quest you can find but sort them in your PipBoy so you can tackle the ones you have access to first. I have at least 10+ quests further south than I care to go yet. Be VERY careful of the missions offered by Preston Garvey, you meet him early on and he's all about missions and unlocking settlements. Do the one he gives you and then once you complete it, run away without talking to him again. Only talk to him when you're really ready to. His settlement unlocking missions can sometimes be time based and then you find out after a few hours you've failed the mission. That can sometimes prevent a settlemnt from getting unlocked. I hate those missions because some of them take you really far south too early and it's not fun. But by doing his missions, you get XP that you otherwise wouldn't have gotten if you just unlocked the settlement.
If you see a group of Super Mutants, and one of them seems to have a flashing red light, that's a MINI NUKE! He'll run towards you and detonate it. Take his head off as the first thing you do and you'll gain a free mini nuke (at the very least it's a rich source of caps if you don't care to use them). Or use an automatic weapon that sprays bullets on him and you'll have a good chance of detonating it, blowing him and his cronies up in the process (if you don't want the mini nuke that is).
This game has a LOT of quest bugs, I try to lightly research every building when I discover it, just to see if there's a related quest inside. I also try to lightly research each quest, to see what bugs there are cause they can really screw up your enjoyment factor.
Don't neglect your school work, there's an huge amount of DLC coming and you can get it all in the Season Pass, well worth the price of admission and based on the info at hand, it'll probably add at least 50% more to the game, specially the one coming out next month. Maybe you can get your parents to buy that for you next term ;)
If you end up enjoying the settlement building part of the game, don't be shy to call yourself a loot ♥♥♥♥♥, you're going to need every scrap you can find, most importantly, wood... get wood whenever and whereever you can. Also, adhesives and oil are critical, you can make both in your settlements but I've never got enough adhesive, even with all my farms (think that's because I added too many settlements and they started eating everything). Get local leader so you can build supply lines, critical to settlement building, it'll allow settlements to share food, water and building materials. Don't bother breaking all your scrap down, it'll be scraped as and when you use it. If you have a microscope and you need Fibre Optics, it'll break it down and the excess will be stored in the workbench of the settlement you're currently at.
Hope this helps :)
