Thank you in advance for explanation,

It would have been useful if you had given the previous sentence as well. But as a sentence goes this is not a bad sentence.
The way you have rephrased the sentence sounds a bit awkward to my ears but I am having difficulty saying why. I think it has to do with the beginning "Yet neither at school nor at university". This is not the subject of the sentence, of course, but it is a focus.
As far as "appear" goes it means "seem" in this case.
