This is probably just coincidence so don't take me too seriously but here's what I've noticed:
The professors of my biology/chem courses: "Hey buddy, don't be afraid to ask questions we've made sure to try and make things easy to understand. Here are some extra resourses for you if you're having trouble. We've structured the marking so that you have lots of opportunities to catch up if you have a bad week etc. Good luck! So proud of you all! 🥰"
The professors of anything to do with math or tech:
"LISTEN HERE YOU LAZY PEICES OF SHIT. IF YOU DON'T ALREADY KNOW EVERYTHING I'M SUPPOSED TO BE TEACHING IN CLASS THEN FUCK YOU. WE HAVE ONE TEST AND IF YOU FAIL THAT THEN YOU'RE FUCKED AND IT'S YOUR FAULT FOR NOT READING THE EXTRA RESOURSES I HID WITHOUT TELLING ANYONE THEY WERE THERE. WHAT? YOU HAVE A QUESTION? THAT'S A YOU PROBLEM, IDIOT! 
"
I had the same experience students literally had Stockholm syndrome by the end of the second semester. We started the year with 40 students and ended the year with 7 of us who stuck through because I wasn't willing to drop the course. There was no curving and the exam averages were in the 20-40% range. My friends who dropped the course and transferred said the O chem at the R1 we went to was significantly easier.
