I do not mean to complain but I just cannot stand college. I mean I was picked on at my previous academic pursuits but they were not too difficult. People tell you how college is supposed to be better than Highschool or whatever and that things get better if you do not kill yourself. I am not saying things to not get better for some or alot of people but that for some it does not get better. I hate my University maybe even more than my highschool. Atleast in highschool when they got onto you to join clubs or whatever it was not set up like a ****ing labyrinth to get into one (still can not after emailing like multiple clubs on my college email and not a normal email). Almost everyone at the University I attend are stuck up and judgemental. Atleast when I got picked on previously it was moreso physically and people laughed at me. Now it is intellectual condescension and people mind ****ing me all the time. Not to mention nearly all of my professors are complete ****s atleast to me. I probably deserve all this though for sucking so bad at everything.
ever think that if you're having the same issues everywhere you go that the problem may be more with yourself than anything else?....Omni-Slash
However we have kids in fraternities talk about cheating on tests openly (while I am sitting next to them), and I am not the best test taker but atleast I accept my failures. Then there are the elite clubs or whatever that are picky about members.
Stop being a Beta.....no scratch that a Gamma and join a frat house or something man. I can't see how college aged kids are "picking on" someone like it's grade school. You sound like a paranoid kid to be honest.
I wouldn't say I hate mine. Going to a different one in the fall 'cause I'm having trouble meeting people and am going to switch faculties anyway.
Not really the university's fault thoughh.. Just me having trouble getting into things and stuff. Also being at the end of the day tired and taking the bus across town in order to rest, so I figure I have less opportunities to talk to people (o:

So people magically stop messing with you once you are an "adult", **** imo they just do it differently. They are not as blatant about it but their definately is ridicule.

I highly doubt your entire student body is mind fuucking you dude. Obviously some asses will always be asses but to blatantly say nothing has changed since high school I'm calling shenanigans on that since most people are choosing to go to school instead of being made to go. You might need to check yourself off and see where your priorities are at.

The only person I have met who has been nice to me here is this girl who lets me sit by her in the back in my astronomy class but she looks at me like I am weird sometimes and I sit with a chair between us. What do you mean check yourself?
You picked the College go transfer if your so upset..
Ajivas
I actually did not, my parents did because we could not afford for me to live in dorms and I do not have a car.If they are paying then you should stop complaining and be thanking your parents because College is expensive...

I am paying out of my bank account... I am grateful to my parents because they gave me a good start I just wrecked it and blew all my opportunities. My parents certainly deserve a better son than I and I wish I could be better, I am not blaming anyone. Its just I am pissed.
Yeah I really dislike my Uni, I have considered quitting many times.
I feel like I wasted my time in college too, but it's free so at least I wasn't wasting any money :P

Haha, you're lucky. Do you have a fully paid scholarship? Also what keeps you from quiting? For me its my parents, I feel if I quit they will be ashamed of me and view me as a quitter/failure.
It's easy for me. No, I do not hate my college. I LOVE where I go to school. None of the staff are jerks, the kids are all the nicest people I've personally met, the grounds are very nice, the buildings are nice... there is nothing to really hate about where I go.
I can say I hate the work, but what college student doesn't?
Please explain the "intellectual condescension" and "mind f-ing" going on. It sounds like you're just upset you didn't get accepted into a frat or something.thegerg
Well generally the responses and looks I get from other people. I realize that I am an easy person to hate or whatever but I do not like all the preferential treatment some students get. Also I never applied for a frat. I do not drink alcohol mainly because I can not afford to lose any brain cells haha.
I was not in the mental state to stay at my university as it was not the best place for me at the time. I liked the university to a certain degree but I am haunted by painful memories.

I was too busy studying to worry about any of that crap. I'm sure there were snobs and popular people and all that junk, but I just find it impossible to care. I met a moderate number of friends in my classes and labs, that was fine with me.
I have no love for mine, but I would agree that modern academics is a joke (as it relies about 90% on rote learning), especially undergraduate studies. As for the extra-curricular part of university, I never cared for any of that stuff, even in high school. I just go to class, take notes and go straight home. All of my friends have different schedules so I dont socialize much at university. But if you live in residence (im assuming you do), then could see how that extra curricular stuff might matter.

Nope, college here is free.
College isn't free anywhere, you're just not the one being billed.
[QUOTE="Ajivas"] Then there are the elite clubs or whatever that are picky about members. Then how about you work at being better? Elitism is a meritocracy, if you want in then you have to work at it. Clubs at unis belong to the students not the uni, it is up to them how people join and such.

Sure there is, no one ever said there wasn't,what disappears are the big groups which allow certain people to be in the popular crowd and other people not. At uni the pool of people is much larger and people know others who are not at the same uni, this means you can have people going to the same uni who have never heard of each other. You could have no friends in your class and still be the most popular person there. If you want to do well at uni you have to realise that you're going to have to be independent, this means not relying on societies and clubs, not needing babysitting by your lecturers and not giving a **** what other people think.

You're out of HS now that means the the teachers aren't there to babysit you.

It's most likely the ones who make the mainstream college atmosphere and discussion.
i dont hate my college right now. i hate the fact that its hard to get friends because i go to a comm college right now in a city that's foreign to me. ive only been here for a few months and am finding it extremely hard to get close to people. not fun.
Maybe it has more to do with your physical appearance. Go hit the weights and by next spring see your problems dissolve. I honestly haven't seen anyone get picked on at my university, and I see some pretty strange dudes.
