Uni general

>What are you thoughts on uni?
Sucks ass, thought I'd finally be challenged by institutional education. Turns out it's even easier than what I did in high school. Also progressive idiots that think they are being oppressed when their parents pay their tuition can fuck off.
>Did you go yourself ,or are going right now?
Wrapping up my first year in a few days
>If yes ,what major ?
Secondary education with history as my content area
>Do you like your major?
I like the content, absolutely hate other students in my courses. They have no passion for the content they want to teach, seems like they just want to be a teacher for the sake of being a teacher. Appears that they choose their content area based on whatever class they most enjoyed from high school.
>Did you enjoyed (or are enjoying ) the uni experience.?Why /why not?
No, I learn more from educating myself for a lot less.

>What are you thoughts on uni?
its shit and you dont learn anything
the teaching schedule is a joke designed around uni students being lazy. They could have easily taught the 4 year course in 2 years if it went at a reasonable pace. I even learned a language in tandem with my course, in fact, i got credit for it
its only hard if youre a retard or do no work at all
>Did you go yourself ,or are going right now?
i did maths at a top 10 uk university
>If yes ,what major ?
maths
>Do you like your major?
no university made me hate it but i did before that
>Did you enjoyed (or are enjoying ) the uni experience.?Why /why not?
all everyone does is drink, party, fuck and do meme shit like go to india none of which i had any interest in
my subject was particularly bad because, which it actually had a ~50/50 gender split, there was no groupwork and i knew nobody on my course until 3rd year. Also, everyone doing it was boring
some humanities students were interesting to talk to but the majority of them start taking drugs which i also had no interest in
>Any interesting uni stories?
not really unless getting drunk and doing things like that counts as interesting. Even when i joined the hiking club it was more an excuse to get drunk than anything else
my job has nothing to do with my degree in reality either and its absurd that i needed one. Im a mechanical engineer.
in the real world, unless youre doing cutting edge research, 90% of the maths has been done for you already and is in a book. Furthermore, its bad to even try and do it yourself because the book includes safety boundaries you have to abide by. Even if you are doing research computers do a lot of the heavy lifting so long as you can do algebra and calculus
i think id be much happier had i done some meme subject and now worked as a junior manager or some shit at a cafe because i hate my job and i hated my degree.

>What are you thoughts on uni?
it has it place but i think of the current system as excessively profit driven now. I probably wouldn't have went but i don't have many job options due to disabilities that keep me from most trades and the military, plus i got a scholarship that covers a lot of the cost, so why not?
>Did you go yourself ,or are going right now?
current student in my sophomore year
>If yes ,what major ?
accounting
>Do you like your major?
so far it's not bad, i've done well in the introductory classes so far. its pretty boring stuff though so i'm thinking of switching to finance
>Did you enjoyed (or are enjoying ) the uni experience.?Why /why not?
its better then high school, i have a couple of friends and no piece of shit hicks and niggers to fuck with me. I would enjoy it much more if i lived on my own and not with my family, but campus is a 20 minute drive from my house, so this is more practical from a monetary standpoint.

>easier than what I did in high school
Passing is easy but do you get good grades though?

>Improving maths helps with work anyway.
as a code monkey i don't really use much math on my job
i kinda want to move to something more research based but i'm underqualified

Yeah
Physics-theoretical undergrad
I enjoy it more that everything else. Still ain't much.
No i just sit in my loud ass dorm and study and go to classes where useless twats get sidetracked every 5 minutes

Pretty interesting path user, phys major here. Cosmology is hard tier phys but if you like it and have the ability you'll have great fun.

>there was no groupwork
Thats good though.

You had the ability to math but you didnt like it. Even though you're smart you're stupid for pursuing a subject you didn't like.
Retard.

>>What are you thoughts on uni?
pretty much the only way to get a good white collar job
>>Did you go yourself ,or are going right now?
yep first year uni student
>>If yes ,what major ?
maths
>>Do you like your major?
yeah it's hard as fuck though and I regret going to my uni in particular when I could choose any other target uni and do much less work. I fell for the prestige meme
>>Did you enjoyed (or are enjoying ) the uni experience.?Why /why not?
yeah it's nice because I have friends here and people don't bully me like they did in secondary school. also for some reason guys seem interested in me while the ones I knew before used to make fun of me for being an ugly nerd.

that is wild [originally]

Why did you choose maths and not engineering for example?

Somehow carrying a 4.0 GPA without a lot of effort. Again, somehow a lot of what I did in high school was more challenging and stimulating. It's probably due to the fact I went to a great private college prep school.

I want to get a job as a quant, hopefully. I was never really interested in being an engineer

no it is not good because it means you dont meet anyone from your course
moreover group work is an easy 70+% ive literally never heard anyone get less than that
i did like maths before university when it because tedious and boring to me because i had to do it in isolation and resented picking it over engineering where i could have at least played with toys. I had no way to foresee that it'd be ultimately meaningless in terms of my career because youre endlessly peddled memes that a stem degree will magically give you a wonder job
faggot

>What are you thoughts on uni?
Nice way to learn things I suppose
>Did you go yourself ,or are going right now?
Currently attending
>If yes ,what major ?
Formerly engineering, soon to be industrial design with a minor in Japanese as of next semester
>Do you like your major?
Absolutely hated engineering, hopefully industrial design will be an improvement
>Did you enjoyed (or are enjoying ) the uni experience.?Why /why not?
Not really, the entirety of my time was taken up by doing high level math and physics that I have no interest in and despise doing. Didn't have any time or energy left for a social life or hobbies.
>I'm considering dropping and trying to apply to vet school
Go for it, engineering is trash. Vets get to help animals and make people happy.

so you just wanted to have an easy degree where you didnt have to work for it and acquire some real skills, kek you're shameless
and normally it's the reverse the highschool maths is boring brainlet stuff and uni stuff is intellectually challenging tier
You're pathetic user

>I regret going to my uni in particular when I could choose any other target uni and do much less work
I'm in the opposite boat. Went to a nearby school that I could commute to way below what I could have gotten into with my grades. I'm basically going to school for only $3,000 a year. Only negative is that I don't feel engaged or challenged by the education I've received so far. Everything is too easy and most of my classmates don't give a shit about anything. I don't know if this is the case at what would could be considered "average" colleges or universally even at "prestigious" universities.

KEKKKKKKK
You're just plain wrong. You're a brainlet and you couldnt do engineering maths/physics and you're cope posting.

>you couldnt do engineering maths/physics
Except I could, passed calc 3 and diff eq with A's. Just fucking hated doing it.

you need to find a good inbetween. obviously a lower tier uni may not challenge you but there are people who have literally failed out of my course and gone on to get firsts in maths at e.g. warwick or imperial
it's honestly ridiculous

>you need to find a good inbetween
That's the problem, on paper I found a good university. They're regarded as having one of the best teacher education programs in my region and overall the school's reputation is a step above that of most others. Still I feel like I may be more fulfilled by attending a more prestigious university with national acclaim. I could have definitely gotten in, but the scholarship and possibility of commuting from my current university seemed like a better option.

look at the bright side, you can get away with doing easy work and you get a fairly well regarded degree out of it

That's how I rationalize my current situation in all honesty. It's not like getting a degree from a top tier university would do much for me when I'm trying to become a religious brother for a relatively obscure religious order. I feel like it would just be selfish to waste money on getting a degree that costs so much more when all I'm going to be is a high school teacher.
