Well if I thought regular academic term classes were a joke, nothing could have prepared me for the farce of the summer term. Since summer terms are half the length of regular terms, the classes meet more often and are longer in length, so as to get the same number of actual classroom contact time as regular term classes. So if you missed one class, you missed a lot, basically the equivalent of

What good is college? I keep asking myself that. It seems college is mainly a bunch of hoops you have to jump through to get a piece of paper that employers use to weed people out. The sooner people realize this and just accept it, the better.And that is not the end of it either. I mean really, when it comes down to it, all that matters is how well connected you are. Time for a job after

I mentioned in my last post how the students acquire a copy of a previous exam and so thereby can easily cheat on every exam offered at this university. Another aspect of the rampant cheating on campus is the fact that in the Literature classes, I believe I am the only student who actually reads the assigned books. All the other students just get by on the Cliff Notes or online synopsis. But

And now I shall turn my attention to the professors themselves. Class attendance is not even recorded and the professors are often late. If they speak intelligible English, you are very lucky. Most are foreigners with thick accents that are hard to understand. Class size is huge and most professors just read from the book. They add nothing of value to the class textbook. No wonder students

Drugs on campus are everywhere and it is hard to avoid seeing a drug drop if you live on or near campus. They may as well hang out a sign that says, "Hi! We can take your drugs between the hours of 10pm and 2am." Or put that on a t-shirt and just walk around campus. I just look the other way. But it is so sad to see this happening on what is supposed to be a clean, middle-class institution of

If the students themselves are not underage, then half of the party-goers are, as these fraternity boys like to sneak high school girls into their parties. Why does my university turn a blind eye to this? I can only imagine what goes on behind the closed doors of the fraternity dorm rooms. I can hear their rowdiness all the way across campus with my windows closed and a fan running. Loud

This whole blog is going to be about college and how disappointed and disgusted I am with the whole idea of it and the reality of it. So if you are turned off by this premise, then read no further. I am in my third term and I thought it would get better. It is getting worse. What are my complaints? Excuse me, but did anyone besides me come here to learn? College is nothing but a free ride
