No, at least not when I was in a music (theory) major ten years ago.  We
were strongly encouraged to listen to as much music as possible, live or
otherwise.  Live music was preferred, but not to the exclusion of all
else.  This was in Ithaca, NY, so there wasn't much live professional
music, though there was lots of good amateur and student music.  Given the
difficulty of making a living as a professional musician, I'm not
surprised that your friend's professors were encouraging her to support
live music, though it certainly sounds like they went a bit overboard.
